"This manual offers care providers a unique combination of evidence-based methods for adult learning and coping strategy development when training clients individually or in groups. The coping content is split into four categories: health and wellness routines, changing the body's response to stress, changing the situation, and changing attitude. Each category is then divided into four modules, including sleep, hygiene, suicide safety planning, setting healthy boundaries and gratitude. Coping strategies within categories help clients to engage and thrive in meaningful self-care, productive and leisure occupations. A clear learning objective defines what the client learns before leaving the session and outlines for facilitator's actions/comments follow with suggestions of expected client responses and completion of handouts to ensure the learning is taking place. Occupational therapists and other care providers will find this manual useful to improve efficiencies in practice and support even the novice practitioner in providing meaningful teachings"--
