The Columbia Catholic Mental Health Ministry will host a workshop on Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 7 p.m. in the social hall at St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, 121 S. Second St., Columbia. The topic will be "How to Create a Self-Centering Box."

The presenter will be Robin Chedester, who will help attendees learn how to create a mini toolbox for coping under stress. The self-centering box is an emotional first aid kit, allowing people to have a comfort kit available to decrease distress. People can fill the comfort box with items to use when they are struggling that will help them feel grounded and stay safe.

Participants will choose how to decorate their box and what items to put in it, but the ministry will provide basic supplies for attendees to start the box. People may bring anything they would like to include inside the container, which will be the size of an Altoids box.
