Coping Strategies for December
December is a joyful and hectic time of the year. Begin December with a focus on mental health and taking a few moments each day to practice and plan for a sense of calm. As a family, practice a few coping strategies to know what might be options for family members. Then notice when individuals have strong feelings. When this happens, don’t place judgement. Practice the coping strategy to allow individuals to calm down. This allows everyone to process information and make better decisions. This month, several coping strategies will be offered. The strategies work for all ages.
