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
