About this ebook
The 1st edition of Coping Strategies to Promote Mental Health: Training Modules for Occupational Therapists and Other Care Providers by Theresa Straathof organizes its clinical interventions into four overarching coping categories. Each category is systematically broken down into four practical training modules (making a total of 16 modules) paired with explicit lesson plans, learning outcomes, and reproducible client handouts. [1, 2]
The Four Coping Categories & Key Modules
  • Health and Wellness Routines
    • Focuses on building structure and predictability into daily life to decrease baseline mental and physical stress.
    • Includes target modules on sleep hygiene and daily self-care optimization. [1, 2]
  • Changing the Body's Response to Stress
    • Focuses on physical and somatic interventions designed to override the body's fight, flight, or freeze mechanisms.
    • Includes target modules on somatic calming, distress tolerance, and suicide safety planning. [1, 2, 3]
  • Changing the Situation
    • Focuses on empowering active external adjustments to give clients a sense of structural control over stressful environments.
    • Includes target modules on setting healthy boundaries, time management, and assertive communication. [1, 2]
  • Changing Attitudes
    • Focuses on cognitive restructuring, acceptance, and altering negative or self-defeating thought patterns.
    • Includes target modules on cultivating gratitude, building self-compassion, and perspective shifts. [1, 2]
Structural Framework of Each Module
The book also details a strict pedagogical architecture. To track adult learning and verify progress, every individual module utilizes a specific 14-step layout for clinicians to deliver: [1]
  1. Learning Point: Concise summary of the core concept.
  2. Learning Objective: The explicit client action expected by the end of the session.
  3. Materials: Required group or individual intervention supplies.
  4. Handouts: Actionable activity sheets for the facilitator and client.
  5. Orientation: A baseline overview of the strategy being introduced.
  6. Clarification: Transparency regarding the session agenda.
  7. Warm-up: An interactive activity to lower barriers and engage participation.
  8. Experience: Sensory or practical activities to root the lesson in reality.
  9. Reflection: Guided introspection where clients evaluate their immediate insights.
  10. Generalization: Translating the immediate lesson into broader abstract thought.
  11. Application: Building concrete action plans to execute the strategy in daily environments.
  12. Evaluation of Objective: Real-time assessment of client mastery within the session.
  13. Wrap up: Addressing final questions and delivering closing thoughts.
  14. References: Authoritative, evidence-based sources validating the specific intervention. [1]
