Self Care & Coping Mechanisms

Self-care is how you look after your mental health and emotional wellbeing. Coping mechanisms are what you do and the tools you use to care for yourself.

You might take time for yourself and do things that make you feel good and safe. 

Sometimes, things happen that can be really difficult to cope with. Healthy coping mechanisms can help you deal with your problems and look after yourself.
