Coping planning

Coping planning is an approach to supporting people who are distressed.[1][2] It is part of a biopsychosocial[3] approach to mental health and well-being that comprises healthy environments, responsive parenting, belonging, healthy activities, coping, psychological resilience and treatment of illness.[4] Coping planning normalises distress as a universal human experience.[5] It draws on a health-focused approach to coping, to improve emotion regulation and decrease the memory of unpleasant emotions.[6] Coping planning interventions are effective when people are supported in the process of forming coping plans.[7]
