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
