Del Beach-Campbell will explore the different coping mechanisms used by survivors of trauma. He will examine what sees us through situations where we may feel we have no control. From meditation, healthy eating and jogging to substance and alcohol misuse and other addictive behaviours we all have a coping strategy, but not all of them are successful in helping us move forward. Del will look at a a range of thinking/feeling and doing coping strategies, and will build upon the lived experience of survivors of sexual violence to provide up to date feedback as to how we stay resilient in difficult times. We all have a tool kit to help us face life challenges, but what happens if those tools have been depleted because of specific traumas we have faced which have affected our mental health and well-being?
