Emotional Resilience and Problem-Solving for Young People

A programme to promote resilience in young people. This carefully thought out 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.

Young people and adults are encouraged to respond positively to the difficulties they encounter and to focus on solutions and positive aspects, rather than dwelling on the difficulties themselves.

Topics taught in the 15 sessions include:

• Challenging stereotypes
• Self-esteem
• Positive communication
• Friendships
• Making good decisions
• Self-harm
• Loss and endings.

Includes full facilitator notes and handout materials printable from a CD Rom.
