What EDUCATORS Are Saying

Back Pocket Workshop provides many useful, sound, and practical ideas that are research-based.  They are the type of strategies a student can grab hold of at any moment……this is truly a journey worth taking as it reminds our youth that they have exactly what they need.

Back Pocket teaches DBT and CBT skills that are disguised as easy-to-understand tools.  The tools are taught in a conversational, stigma-reducing way that immediately engages kids.

As a high school social worker for over 20 years, I have often searched for easy-to-use tools that will assist teens in managing their moods and emotions.  Back Pocket fits my criteria and I would recommend it to any staff member looking for an organized, engaging way to teach coping skills to adolescents.

Most content on mental health is 80% information, 20% action and what I love about Back Pocket is that it is 80% action and 20% information.
