Self Care and Daily Coping Tool 02
Coping Strategy Matcher
Match the current need with coping options that fit your capacity, setting, and goal for the moment.
Choose by need
The most useful coping strategy depends on what you need right now.
A strategy may help you settle, express, move, rest, connect, focus, distract briefly, or solve a problem. You may need to try more than one.
Your coping matches
Choose the smallest option that fits.
Notice what changes after you try a strategy. If it is not useful or creates more harm, pause and choose a different form of support.
This tool offers general coping ideas, not individualized treatment or crisis care. If you cannot stay safe, contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis resource in your area.
