High levels of stress encountered by the parents with very less effective methods to overcome will always be an obstacle to face the tasks involved in parenting the child. The study was conducted to assess the coping strategies among mothers of mentally challenged children in Coimbatore. A descriptive research design was adopted in this study to assess the level of coping among Mothers of Mentally Challenged Children by using convenient sampling technique. Results showed that about 1.9% of mothers had below average level of coping, 5.8% of mothers had average level of coping, 75% of mothers had above average level of coping and 3% of mothers had very good level of coping. It is concluded that, counsellors and educationalists involved in the health care industry must chart out the very strenuous fields and have to meticulously support the usage of various coping strategies to help out the parents in overcoming the difficulties faced by them in bringing up the mentally challenged children.Keywords
