Coping Skills Menus
Everybody gets frustrated, anxious, mad, sad and a million other tough emotions from time to time.

Instead, the key is having strong Coping Skills that help you handle these emotions, so that you have productive responses to them.
The following different categories of Coping Skills will help you (whether you are an adult, or a student) start figuring out the best way for you to handle your emotions at different times, so that you can manage them effectively and appropriately.
