What is another way to say the phrase "deal with it"?

I am writing a paper for college about advocating for the homeless. I am writing the introduction to the paper and am trying to convey that it takes several branches of social work to deal with the issue of homelessness (I'm a social work major). I want to refrain from using the phrase "deal with it" in this one sentence that I am writing, because it doesn't sound very professional to me (this paper is a huge portion of my grade).

What is a better way to say "deal with it" but still get the same point across? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Man up, get some balls, don't be a pussy, get a grip, get back to reality, come to terms with this first..., save it for when you have more time,

    Source(s): Talking to people, working with homeless, coming to terms

    Initially, I was going to say "Suck it up!" but after reading, I assumed that wouldn't be appropriate... So, I would say "accept it", "come to terms with that fact...", or something along those lines.
