C.O.P.E. Groups
C.O.P.E. SUPPORT GROUPS
COPE Support Groups are a support network designed to help individuals manage and overcome the emotional and psychological challenges following a disaster. These groups provide a safe and supportive environment where participants can share their experiences, feelings, and concerns.
Led by trained facilitators, these groups will focus on:
- teaching coping strategies such as stress management, resilience building, and problem-solving skills.
- how to process trauma.
- developing a sense of community.
- enhancing emotional well-being.
Through interactive discussions, educational resources, and peer support, members learn how to regain control over their lives and set themselves up for future success.
