Just a Mental Inventory Everyday (J.A.M.I.E.) Bags are comprised of several mental health professional’s suggested items to de-escalate or quell a crisis/self-harm situation.
Our J.A.M.I.E. Bags (Just A Mental Inventory Everyday) are comprised of:
- A green satchel/back sinch pack
- 988 Suicide Hotline sticker/card/magnet
- Journal and Pen
- Stress Ball with positive affirmation on it
- Fidget toy (If hands are busy then the mind doesn’t go to dark places as quickly)
- A bookmark that has our son’s story on one side and on the other side there will be a.) QR code for Suicide Hotline and our Web site. b.) Easy journaling steps (Write 3 things that didn’t suck today, 1 thing you accomplished today and 1 thing that you hope to accomplish tomorrow… If you give hope for tomorrow, then they can see themselves in the vision of the next day!)
- A Frog sticker/tattoo because our son loved frogs for some reason.
*These items are similar in style to the items we put in each bag. Each bag is constructed in the same manner and items are dependent upon availability.
Journaling is an important tool in positive personal care. It can show you your areas of growth. Your areas of struggle. It can give you inspiration. Journaling can also show you how you overcame stressful situations and how you have conquered your fears. When you journal, you are writing a future letter to yourself that will allow you to see the growth and maturity you have acquired by working through various methods. Journaling is only a tool and should be used as such.
