Exploring Common Coping Mechanisms and Mindset for the Mental-Emotional Well-Being of Young People

This paper explores the conflict surrounding common coping mechanisms, mindsets and the mental-emotional state of young people whilst discovering strategies for managing mental-emotional experiences and their implications for young people's growing needs and well-being. Theoretical models highlight the positive relationship between effective emotional regulation, mainly through reappraisal and problem-solving skills, resilience, growth mindset, and various coping strategies. Young people are struggling to cope with their mental-emotional well-being and often face struggles to seek help. Challenges in these areas have resulted in health complications and numerous mental difficulties and disorders. The growing interest in mindfulness as a tool to enhance adaptive emotional regulation provides further importance in developing such skills in therapeutic contexts to improve overall well-being.
