October is LGBT History Month. This month, we celebrate everyone from the past, present, and future who create safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community and fight for their rights.

Coping mechanisms are strategies survivors can use to help them process their emotions. You can work through them in therapeutic practices or by utilizing healthy methods. These include meditation, working out, journaling, drawing, talking to friends, reading and so many more.
