We all want kids to use healthy and safe strategies when having big feelings, overwhelming thoughts, or challenging situations, but helping kids find those skills can be confusing and exhausting.
⭐️ Where do you look to find effective strategies?
⭐️ How do you know if it will work?
⭐️ How do you get a child actually to try it?
Wouldn't it be great to have a magic wand, and when you wave it, the kids in your life would have coping skills and actually use them?
This may sound familiar if you….

More about the Founder of the Coping Skills Hub, Janine Halloran, M.A., LMHC
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has been working with children, teens, and their families for more than 20 years. I have been helping children and teens build their coping skills throughout my career in various settings, including schools, mental health clinics, and I continue to do so in my private practice.
I founded Coping Skills for Kids to help children and teens learn healthy and safe ways to manage big feelings. I'm the author of several books, including the bestselling Coping Skills for Kids Workbook, the Coping Skills for Teens Workbook, and the Coping Skills for Kids Activities Book Series.
Not only am I a professional who works with kids and teens, but I'm also a mom myself. I put these strategies into practice as a professional and in my personal life!
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I get access to the materials?
Once you join the Hub, you can access all the resources, videos, and PDFs online. You will also have the opportunity to participate in live webinars, ask questions, and share wins in the community space.
What age range are these coping skills for?
We have coping skills for kids in preschool up through high school in the Hub. You can search the Hub using the following tags to find skills for the proper age: preschool, elementary, middle, high. As I add more skills to the Hub, I will focus on adding skills for the different age groups.
Are these skills evidence-based?
According to the American Psychological Association (2006), evidence-based practice means "the integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture, and preferences." I created the Coping Skills Hub with this definition in mind.
"best available research"
I read research about coping skills and their effectiveness regularly. As new findings emerge, I want to ensure those are included in my work at Coping Skills for Kids. Each coping style has a page that contains research and additional resources. These will continue to get updated as I read new research.
"clinical expertise"
Some of the coping skills I include throughout the Coping Skills Hub are ones I've tried with clients and my own children throughout the years that have worked well, or are ones that other experts have shared with me. My goal is to have kids & teens find coping skills that are safe and healthy. If a coping skill is safe and healthy, and works, then we can consider it as a potential strategy to suggest.
"patient characteristics, culture, and preferences"
Part of evidence-based research should be to include the client's preferences - who they are, what they enjoy, their background, and their own experiences. I've been working with clients for more than two decades now, and I hear from them all the time about different strategies that work for them. Part of our therapeutic connection includes me listening to them and honoring their experiences. I add those new strategies into my repertoire of coping skills regularly. Not all coping skills work for all kids. It depends on where kids are, their feelings, and what they like.
