Lesson Plan

Coping Toolbox Plan

Participants will learn and practice three coping strategies—deep breathing, grounding, and cognitive reframing—and create a personalized Coping Toolbox to manage stress and schizophrenia symptoms.

Teaching coping techniques enhances self-awareness and emotional regulation, reduces symptom escalation, and fosters peer support for adults with schizophrenia, improving daily functioning and quality of life.
