Question about copingHi Carol, I give my students the following link that directs them to 8 modules on stress management (wellness modules), which present a cognitive behavioural approach to coping with stress (i.e., modules on healthy thinking, sleep management, etc.). They were developed by the BC partners for mental health and addiction (a representative sample of non-profit organization in BC, such as BC anxiety disorders association). I also use them in my clinical practice and clients like them (for transparency sake, I wrote one of them on eating and living well, which includes looking at body image, the risks of dieting, and why it is normal to have a hard time staying on a diet).

They dutifully did so, and now I want to provide them some feedback; however, I'm out of class time to discuss this. So, I plan on summarizing what they turned in and I'd like to give them additional information on coping styles and strategies. Do any of you have exercises, information, or hand-outs that you use in class and would be willing to share?
