Resilience is at the heart of pupil 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.

​We use The Resilience Doughnut to help us to understand the things that help all children, adolescents and adults cope better, like relationships, a powerful identity, a sense of belonging, agency, meaning, purpose, achievement and social justice.  A resilience-building response is attuned to the cultural and contextual differences found among the individuals, the school and wider community to which they are part. 

​​

The Resilience Doughnut provides a practical research-validated tool for schools and colleges which can be used with a class, year group or whole school basis, enabling all pupils to better manage the inevitable ups and downs of life, and with individuals and small groups on a targeted basis to build capacity for resilience for those currently experiencing a challenge, adversity or transition. 

​​

The Resilience Doughnut also provides a framework for schools and colleges to establish, build and strengthen a positive school climate, which involves every pupil, member of staff and parent in their interactions each day. Fostering resilience at an individual, class and whole-school level has the potential to build schools in which the pupils have the capacity to grow and flourish within a positive school community.
