Coping Skills for Teens with Anxiety

25+ Teen-Friendly Coping Skills to Effectively Handle Anxiety

25+ Teen-Friendly Coping Skills to Effectively Handle Anxiety

Working with teens who have anxiety can be a challenge! You know they need help, but they aren’t always open to trying new things. You may have heard:

“Mindfulness doesn’t work.”

“I’ve already tried that.”

“That will make me look weird.”

How do you get them to try new skills? And what sort of strategies will they actually use at school or home?

This course gives you a framework for exploring coping skills in an organized way with the teens you see. Using the five coping styles, you can explore what strategies might work based on research and their personality and preferences.

I also share my favorite tips for encouraging teens to take a chance and try something new. With real client stories and examples, I share how I explore these different coping skills with teens, including identifying which skills a teen would prefer to use at home vs. at school.

By exploring coping skills this way, I hope that this will inspire your teen clients to find strategies that work for them and continue to build and use coping skills as they move into adulthood. They can handle any challenging situation that comes their way with the right coping skills.
