Road to Resilience Programme

This is a two-day support programme that focuses on the theme of resilience and consists of three workshops:

• Student workshop – on resilience, wellbeing and growth
• Parent Twilight session on resilience
• Teacher and support staff inset day – on resilience and mental health awareness
• Online Resources Hub subscription (until end of academic year)

• To help build resilient students, parents and teachers and equip them with the tools to protect themselves against stress and support their own wellbeing
• To deliver a holistic, whole-school programme that develops positive wellbeing and resilience and incorporates all stakeholders involved in a student’s journey
• To give practical ways for students to achieve a good work/life balance and cope in times of pressure or stress, such as in the lead up to exams

During this programme, students, parents and teachers will:

• Learn how to challenge habitual thought patterns
• Understand the difference between fixed and growth mindsets
• Learn how the brain works and discover the power of positivity
• Be introduced to the psychological process of mindfulness
• Develop soft skills, including character building, raising self-esteem, confidence and motivation
• Develop positive emotional and mental wellbeing practices

We believe in providing sustained interventions for schools, as we know this is the approach to drive lasting and positive change. Involving parents and teachers in student-focused interventions ensures that learners feel supported and confident when trying out their new skills.

When you are involved in caregiving, you must look after your own mental health and wellbeing. Parents and teachers will be upskilled with a range of tools to develop resilience and mental wellbeing so they can better support the students under their care.

Students, parents and teachers will all be left with a range of inspirational techniques to support learning, as well as tools to develop emotional, academic and social intelligence, and resilience.

Including all workshops and sessions, the Road to Resilience programme is a two-day intervention.

“Our staff felt that the insert day was informative and expertly delivered. One staff member said that it was the best CPD they have had in 25 years of teaching. In terms of the parental twilight session, parents reported that it was very helpful and gave them strategies to support their children with their Level 3 studies. The student sessions helped us to embed our ethos of developing a growth mindset and resilience. The sessions also taught specific skills that will help them to cope throughout their time at college. But these students now have these skills for life. Our presenter was so enthusiastic, and this was infectious. She was fantastic with staff, students and parents, and we would recommend this session unreservedly to others.”  Headteacher
