Building Resiliency with Elementary through High School Students

Description: Resiliency can come naturally to some. Others may need intentional teaching or modeling. God’s plan is that all His Children have resiliency but sin, death, and the devil have made a negative impact. In this session, we’ll define what resiliency means, where teachers can make an impact, and how God’s children of all ages can foster resiliency within the school setting.
