Toolkit under Resources brings in-app self-care: a Self-Care + Safety Plan you prepare ahead of time, guided Breathe and Grounding, and catalog rows for community voices and awareness organizations. See the Resources tab overview if you have not opened Resources; this article assumes Toolkit is selected.

What you will find on Toolkit

The Toolkit sub-tab scrolls top to bottom through self-care tools and catalog rows. This article orients you on the hub only—each tool has its own help article.

  • Self-Care + Safety Plan hero card at the top—tap Open on the hero to reach your advance safety plan.
  • Interactive tools section with side-by-side Breathe and Grounding tiles for guided in-app sessions.
  • Find your people card with Voices & Community and Awareness Organizations rows when those categories are in your app.
  • Contribute to research section with a Join a Study card when a study category is available.

Browse the Toolkit hub

In the app

The preview shows Toolkit inside Resources—the hero card, interactive tool tiles, and catalog sections—not an open Breathe session, Grounding steps, or Safety Plan editor.

Confirm the Toolkit sub-tab is selected under the Resources title. See the Resources tab overview if you need help reaching this screen.
02
Self-Care + Safety Plan
At the top of the scroll, the hero card shows the title and subtitle 7 sections · made in advance.
03
Interactive tools
Below the hero, Breathe and Grounding tiles sit side by side under the Interactive tools section header.
04

Open Self-Care + Safety Plan

01
Self-Care + Safety Plan
On the Toolkit hub, find the hero card at the top of the scroll.
02
7 sections · made in advance
The subtitle reminds you the plan is built ahead of time across seven sections.
03

Tap the Open pill on the hero card to open the full-screen Safety Plan flow.
04
Back
Use Back to return to the Toolkit hub. See Building your Safety Plan for how to fill in, edit, and share each section.

The Safety Plan opens as its own screen—not the same view as Education or Research articles.

🔒Your Safety Plan stays on your device—it is not stored on Red Tent servers.

Start Breathe or Grounding

01
Interactive tools
On the Toolkit hub, scroll to the Interactive tools section below the hero card.
02
Breathe
Tap the Breathe tile to launch a guided breathing session. The subtitle reads Five guided breathing studies.
03
Grounding
Tap the Grounding tile to start the senses exercise. The subtitle reads 5-4-3-2-1 senses exercise.
04
Back
End or back out of a session to return to the Toolkit hub.
  • Breathe sessions are native in-app flows—see Breathe sessions in the Toolkit for session types and pacing.
  • Grounding walks you through the senses exercise—see 5-4-3-2-1 grounding in the Toolkit for each step.

Both tools launch from the hub tiles only. This overview does not cover in-session pacing or individual grounding steps.

Join a Study is optional—the section is hidden when no study category is in your app.

Crisis support while using tools

The Toolkit hub itself does not show crisis shortcuts. Breathe and Grounding sessions include a footer with urgent-support options; the Resources header also offers a Hotline button on every sub-tab.

01
Need urgent support?
During a Breathe or Grounding session, scroll to the crisis footer at the bottom of the session screen.
02
Crisis hotline
Tap Crisis hotline in the footer to reach the in-app hotline flow.
03
Safety plan
Tap Safety plan in the footer to open your Self-Care + Safety Plan from the session.
04
Hotline
From any Resources sub-tab, tap Hotline in the header row for the same crisis path without starting a breathing or grounding session.
🔒If you need urgent support, use Crisis hotline in an interactive tool session or Hotline on the Resources header. See Crisis hotline for how calling and placement work in the app.
