Self-Care Toolkit

The self-care toolkit was designed and created for individuals undergoing surgery and/or invasive medical procedures. It provides individuals with guided instruction to learn several evidence-informed mind-body skills (e.g., breathing, relaxation, meditation, guided imagery) and tools (e.g., acupressure wristbands, journal) in order to regulate their own physiologic and emotional reactions to stressful situations and to lessen symptoms associated with surgery (principally pain, anxiety, nausea, fatigue, sleep disturbance).
