Kids and teens experience all kinds of feelings, but may not necessarily know how to deal with them or how to cope with when they come up. It’s important that we help them learn the skills to manage their emotions, thoughts, and reactions in healthy and productive ways. By doing so, we can help them build skills that can increase well-being in adulthood and prevent unhealthy coping strategies as they get older.
In this previously recorded session, Maggie Gorraiz, PhD, explores different types of coping strategies for children and adolescents, shares age-appropriate ways to teach coping to our loved ones, and answers audience questions about the mental health benefits that healthy coping can bring to our whole families.
