Recent events such as devastating disasters, the elimination of the constitutional
right to abortion access, medical issues, spiking inflation, mass shootings, and other
acts of violence, can contribute to stress and trauma. There are specific things you
can do to help yourself and your loved ones cope with the emotional aftermath of stress
and trauma. Coping mechanisms are strategies people often use in the face of stress
and/or trauma to help manage painful or difficult emotions.
There are many options for coping – start exploring the resources below and reach
out to Counseling Services for additional support!
