About
The Coping Philosophy
The magic that builds The Coping events is C.A.R.E.
We create in person events that help us Connect, Act, Reflect & Educate each other. Our aim is to use C.A.R.E to create & share Stories For Brighter Futures that inspire improved collective wellbeing.
Connect
With Ourselves, Each Other & Causes Greater Than Ourselves
The Coping is a social enterprise that brings people with different life experiences together to connect with purpose. We create spaces where different experiences can be shared & activities are shaped to support mental health, wellbeing & a stronger sense of community.
Together We Create & Tell Stories For Brighter Futures.
Take Action
Feel The Fear & Let Go
Action sports can challenge us to overcome fear & experience the beautiful & brutal fullness of life.
It takes effort to create change, together we can take action - to overcome fear and inspire others to take action too.
Reflect
On Our Actions & Our Purpose
When we reflect with honesty & kindness, we can see our behaviour & decide if it serves our purpose. We can prepare ourselves to act in a way that aligns with our purpose.
In reflection we can observe the thoughts & opinions of the mind, reminding ourselves that they don’t make up who we are - they are trained paths based on everything we have ever experienced.
Educate Ourselves
Towards Collective Wellbeing
Life is gnarly enough, without stories of hate & division. The stories we tell ourselves & each other shape our world.
Through education we can learn the skills that help us achieve & maintain wellbeing in a way that works for us individually but contributes collectively to global wellbeing. We can use the C.A.R.E cycle to check what we learn aligns with our aims.
