The student should indicate that adaptation to stress uses denial, blaming, suppressing feelings, and substance abuse. It does not change the stressor to solve the crisis. Coping is developing strategies that hope to manage or solve the crisis. The five coping strategies are 1. reduce the stressor, 2. manage your emotional response, 3. develop a support system, 4. take care of your body, and 5. develop relaxation techniques. Discussion should include descriptions of each strategy.
