This clue could be a double definition.

'feel they' is the first definition.
'handle' can be an answer for 'feel' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'they' bit.

'cope with it' is the second definition.
'handle' can be an answer for 'cope' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'with it' bit.

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for handle that I've seen before include "Ability to walk on board ship" , "Trade in" , "Manage - name" , "Manipulate; manage" , "Feel or manipulate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
