Using Creativity to Cope
Everyone has mechanisms they use to cope with frustration, stress, anger, depression, and other difficult emotions. Some chose to yell, some watch television, yet others have learned more productive coping skills that not only distract them from the emotions, but to calm themselves enough to process what is going through their heads. We believe that creative outlets can be great skills to use to cope. This is why we promote creative coping skills to our mentors, teens, families, and community at large!
