About the Founder
Janine Halloran is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a mom of 2. As a counselor working primarily with children and adolescents for the last 18 years, Janine has seen the value of learning healthy coping skills early in life. Children who can cope in healthy ways will be more resilient and manage stress better as adults.
As a parent of two elementary school age children, Janine has been teaching these coping skills at home to her children. She understands from first-hand experience that it’s not always perfect. She strives for making progress, however small a step it is. Janine created Coping Skills for Kids as a place where professionals and parents could get resources to teach children how to deal with their emotions in healthy ways.
MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS!
No one should feel ashamed or be embarrassed to seek help if their child is struggling. To support the mental health of children and families seeking support services, Coping Skills for Kids donates 5% of their profits to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
