Coping Skills Handouts Bundle (44 Pages)

Coping skills are the tools we use to manage stress and adapt to change. They can include strategies like naming feelings, movement mindfulness, and square breathing. Research shows that learning coping skills early in life prepares clients to handle the problems they will face as they grow. The Coping Skills Handouts Bundle includes 44 unique coping skills handouts. It introduces a variety of coping strategies so clients can choose the ones that feel most effective or appealing to them. Each handout provides step-by-step guidance for practicing the skill daily. They also outline the benefits of each approach so clients understand why the skill can help. Using these handouts helps kids and teens strengthen their emotional regulation and build confidence in handling challenges. We recommend introducing a new handout when your child is calm so they can learn the skill without feeling pressured. You may practice the skills in different settings — at home, in the classroom, or in therapy — to help young people learn how to apply them in various situations. *This item is an instant digital download.
