Pupil Resilience - Foundation Training
Popular workshop
Resilience is at the heart of child and adolescent wellbeing, success and long term mental health, as they navigate their way through childhood, adolescence and into adulthood. By providing strategies to help children and adolescents with life's challenges and times of change, you enable them to survive and thrive.
Through the Resilience Doughnut, this practical foundation training will provide you and your whole team with an insight into how we build the resilience of others through the application of The Resilience Doughnut.
"Fewer than half of adults caring for children and adolescents actually promote resilience in them. Many try their best in helping them develop resilience but only some make a difference."
- International Resilience Project
