Practical techniques and strategies to help you manage difficult emotions and navigate challenging times
"Coping isn't about eliminating stress—it's about building your capacity to handle life's challenges while protecting your wellbeing."
Coping strategies are the methods we use to deal with stressful situations, difficult emotions, and life challenges. Healthy coping strategies help us process our experiences without causing additional harm to ourselves or others.
These techniques can help you manage overwhelming emotions in the moment. They work by activating your body's natural calming response.

Everyone's coping toolkit is different. Experiment with different strategies to find what works best for you.
While self-help strategies are valuable, some situations require professional support.
A therapist can help you develop personalised coping strategies and work through underlying issues.
