Coping Power proved to be a user-friendly and skills-focused program designed to teach students helpful ways to cope with everyday stressors. The inclusion of small groups into the program built a sense of community for a group of students who may have otherwise felt disconnected from their peers, school, or adults. As we progressed through the small group, the students learned that not only could they rely on each other or a trusted adult to talk about their struggles, but that they also have the personal power to make choices in how they respond to their emotions, thoughts, or situations.

Coping power has demonstrated a keen ability to create a safe space within the classroom. This program allows for the opportunity to foster an inclusive environment where all students feel valued and respected. This quality program not only enhances the learning experience but also encourages open dialogue among peers, allowing for the exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives in a respectful manner. I appreciate Coping Power's commitment to cultivating this atmosphere which has significantly contributed to the overall dynamics of my classroom community.

Coping Power has helped us develop common language and consistent practices for supporting students in regulating emotions, understanding the perspectives of others,  and managing conflict.
