I built coping.tools because a lot of mental-health resources make people do too much before they get to anything useful. If you’re already stressed, overwhelmed or shut down, I don’t think you should have to diagnose yourself, create an account, complete a questionnaire or scroll through a giant library of techniques. So I kept this intentionally small. The site starts with five situations and then offers something for the next minute, the next few minutes, or later. I’ve also tried to be unusually careful about the evidence. The broader approaches are sourced, limitations are stated, and I avoid claiming that a short adaptation has been clinically validated when it hasn’t. It’s free, there are no ads, no account, no chatbot and no engagement mechanics. I’d especially value feedback on whether it feels clear and usable when someone is actually under pressure.
