Coping planner

If the need to cope is an important part of your life, would it be useful, in times of stability, to plan, improve your strategies and look out for yourself in as many ways as you can? This might involve implementing new coping strategies, finding new routines, focusing on your emotional and problem-solving needs, looking at ways of managing relapses, etc.

Below are some questions to round up and end the month of February. We hope you’re continuing to get something out of this calendar. (Come March, we’ll be exploring the self – our self – in more detail, to see if we can find more gems of wellness hidden here and there.)

For the time being, we wish you well.
