Confidentiality and ethics

help you reclaim hope

Take care of you body

Answer 14

Self-care may be a popular buzzword, but it’s
also a legitimate practice for mental health
and building resilience.

Practice mindfulness

When you journal, meditate, or pray, ruminate
on positive aspects of your life and recall the
things you’re grateful for, even during
personal trials

Question 16

Avoid negative outlooks

It may be tempting to mask your pain with alcohol, drugs, or other substances, but that’s like putting a bandage on a deep wound. Focus instead on giving your body resources to manage stress, rather than seeking to eliminate the feeling of stress altogether.

Help others

stressful event, but you can change how you
interpret and respond to it.

Question 22

Accept change

Answer 22

Accept that change is a part of life. Certain goals
or ideals may no longer be attainable as a result
of adverse situations in your life. Accepting
circumstances that cannot be changed can help
you focus on circumstances that you can alter.

Question 23

Maintain a hopeful outlook

Answer 23

It’s hard to be positive when life isn’t going
your way. An optimistic outlook empowers
you to expect that good things will happen to
you.

Learn from your past

By looking back at who or what was helpful in
previous times of distress, you may discover
how you can respond effectively to new
difficult situations.
