Aims

The Resilience Group aims to support pupils to develop:

• resilience

• self-esteem - being accepted by people whose relationships you value, and from completing tasks you value

• self-efficacy - the qualities of optimism, sticking at something, and believing that your efforts can make a difference

• autonomy - making decision and learning from your mistakes

This will be achieved using a range of individual activities, group discussions and working with others. Young people who are resilient tend to be more hopeful, confident and possess higher self-worth during hard times. They are more likely to overcome challenges, recognise when they need support and develop copying strategies enabling them to handle dificulties more easily in the future.

Criteria

Pupils who have low self-esteem, or those who are unable to cope when things change or something challenging happens. Parent/carer(s) can contact their child's Guidance Teacher to discuss if you would like your child to be referred.
