COPING SKILLS

Coping skills that they already use: For coping skills, I usually start with asking them what coping skills that they already use. This becomes an interesting topic to help them realize how certain actions can make a huge difference. That one skills that they choose, it might not only make them feel good physically, but it can also feel good about themselves, and help them have positive thoughts. 

Website on coping skills

I really like using this one for these resources from youthfirstinc.org and indigodaya.com. These have different concepts of coping skills such as self-soothing, emotional awareness, emotional release, grounding, mindfulness, distraction, support system, thought challenge, accessing your higher self, self-love, and opposite action. You name it, and it is all covered. I love using both of these.
