Resilience is how you cope and overcome stressful situations. Sometimes knowing how to deal with something can come naturally to some people, for others, there are skills that can be taught and developed.
Resilience helps young people gain skills for life that help them deal with, and manage challenging situations that can’t be avoided. These can include managing unexpected change, going through transitions, dealing with daily hassles or a range of stressors.
In our wellbeing groups, we discuss how to use a growth mindset, communicate our problems, develop optimism and think of our self-worth and emotions.
Other tips are;
- Think positively about themselves and the situation – what’s going well?
- Have an understanding of deeper emotions – frustrated, cross, stressed, rather than just angry
- Being in control of their reactions – think about what has caused the situation, can it be dealt with differently?
- Have supporting relationships allowing them to ask for help when needed and engage in support that’s given
- Have self-belief in their abilities and to be confident to challenge the negative thinking
