What are the benefits of using this resource?
Life is full of ups and downs, and all of us experience challenges from time to time. Developing healthy and positive coping strategies are important to our daily lives as they are tools that help us deal with and overcome difficult experiences, build resilience, and manage stress, anxiety and emotional distress, by giving us ways to modify our thinking, and feel more relaxed and in control of our thoughts, feelings and emotions during stressful times.
Its Good To Talk!!!
If you are struggling with your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and/or difficult experiences, we recommend that you talk to one of the trusted people in your life, and seek professional help and support. Sharing our experiences can be empowering, as it can help us to take back control of our lives by allowing us to identify and manage our difficulties, and take positive and proactive steps to overcome these. However, we can sometimes find it hard to talk about our difficulties and how we feel; in such cases, writing these down can feel easier and less painful and can serve as a great method of communicating when words are too difficult to speak. If you are struggling to talk, we encourage you to use written word or this resource to share what has happened to you and how you are feeling.
