How You Think Affects How You Feel and Behave
The Science Behind The COPE Programs
The COPE Programs are based on a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy-based skills-building approach that includes reducing negative thoughts, increasing healthy behaviors, and improving communications and problem-solving skills.
When a person learns to COPE in positive ways, the brain lays down new pathways, helping him or her grow new neuronal connections and deal with stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms in healthy ways.
By helping individuals change their thoughts from negative to positive, their feelings and behaviors naturally follow suit. Convincing children and teens that they can accomplish whatever it is that is important to them reinforces that what their mind believes they can achieve. COPE helps them face their fears and take control of their emotions.
“COPE helped me to think a lot better about myself.”
