Positive reminders can greatly improve mental health, especially when someone is under a lot of stress. Without these reminders, clients may struggle with low self-esteem and negative thinking.
The Always Remember poster features a list of positive affirmations designed to encourage clients to remain positive. It includes 9 helpful phrases to boost positivity and confidence, such as “You are appreciated” and “You are strong.” This decor can be used in therapy sessions when discussing subjects about self-esteem, resilience, or coping strategies.
Kids and teens who read these messages can be reminded of their worth and potential. Fun activities like theme days, where they wear colors that show positivity or share their favorite phrases, can make days more exciting.
Caring adults can also incorporate the poster into different art projects, such as making notecards with their favorite uplifting quotes. They can also set up a "kindness wall" where everyone shares encouraging notes to create a supportive space.
