Self-Care
  • A preventative measure
  • Acts attending to your emotional, mental, spiritual and physical health
  • Decrease extreme distress and burnout
  • Can decrease the need for coping skills in the future
Coping skills
  • Used to get you through the tough times
  • Activities or tactics you use when you're in a stressful situation
  • Strategies you can use when you need to buy a bit more energy or time, like hitting the "pause button" when stressed
