Reminders to My Future Self

About the Karma Project

Reminders to my Future Self is a biweekly journal practice, being shared with emotionally vulnerable teenagers receiving outpatient psychiatric treatment in Kingston, NY.

Participants will leave the practices with a self-created journal filled with positive coping skills, prompts to use in the future and a collage kit to take home and use when they are feeling low, stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed.
