Building resiliency is critical in the life of teens. It is currently called a host of other names including hardiness, psychological resilience, emotional resourcefulness, and mental resiliency. Regardless of the name you choose, resiliency is the ability of a teen to interact with the environment, handle stresses that occur, and bounce back from these stressful events.
Resiliency can be thought of as a skill that allows teens to: manage life's challenges, stresses, changes, and pressures effectively; cope with and adapt successfully to adversity; and bounce back to a balanced state after facing a major disruption in life or career planning.
The Teen Resiliency-Building Workbook contains five separate sections to help participants learn more about themselves and how to build the resiliency which will enable them to thrive in times of adversity, change and stress.
