Coping skills are practices and resources you can use to help when you are overwhelmed, stressed, angry, or are experiencing any number of heightened emotions. Some coping skills help you immediately in the moment to de-escalate, while others are beneficial when they are practiced consistently.

Mindfulness Activities

Mindfulness activities help you bring your awareness back to the present moment. If you are constantly "in your head," can't stop thinking about stressors, or find your mind wandering when you want to focus, mindfulness can help!

Mindfulness is a secular, research-based type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. These practices help to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.
