Emotional Resilience and Problem Solving for Young People

Young people today encounter specific challenges and stresses in both educational and social contexts. This resource pack helps participants to:

Understand the importance of mental health and wellbeing
Recognise the stresses that they, and other people, face
Develop effective managing strategies

The authors have designed a flexible programme that encourages young people and adults to respond positively to difficult situations they encounter, focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on set-backs. Topics taught in the 15 sessions include:

Challenging stereotypes
Multiple intelligences
Self-esteem
Positive communication
Focusing on strong emotions
Stress and coping strategies
Making good decisions
