Resilience

• To show students how to achieve a healthy mix of fun, work and relaxation
• To encourage students to develop a growth mindset
• To build long-lasting resilience

Throughout this Resilience workshop, students will learn to look deep inside themselves and start to question their thoughts. By looking at their internal language and switching negative “I can’t do that” to positive “I can’t do that yet” thoughts, students start to develop a growth mindset fixed on their desired outcomes.

By the end of the workshop, students will be able to identify weak or difficult areas in their lives and find ways to make positive, confidence-building changes.

With this deep dive into wellbeing, students start to develop a holistic approach to minimising stress and find that important fun-work-relaxation balance.

We tackle the tricky topic of stress head-on in this resilience workshop with sensitive, age-appropriate discussion. We know that stress is becoming a growing problem for children living in a fast-moving world, as they tackle high expectations from school and home and increased scrutiny of their progress.

This workshop is designed to help children frame these pressures differently, become more resilient to outside noise, understand their areas of difficulty, and look forward in a positive and inspired way.

The Resilience workshop is split into three main sections:

• Resilience
• Wellbeing
• Growth

Each subject area is explored through fun exercises and engaging information, all delivered in a way to encourage self-awareness and development.

To be effective learners, our body and our mind must be fit and healthy. So this workshop takes a holistic approach, embracing body, mind and spirit.

Students learn to:

• Challenge habitual thought patterns, replacing stress-inducing chatter with resilient language
• Identify weak or difficult areas in their life and make positive plans to change them
• Take a holistic approach to their wellbeing to combat stress and illness
• Develop a growth mindset
• Reduce stress levels and increase resilience

We recommend sitting students around tables in groups of four to six in a spacious room that is conducive to learning.

Your Positively You event can be broken down as follows, depending on your timetable:

• 4 x 1-hour workshops
• 3 x 80-minute workshops
• 2 x 2-hour workshops

Each workshop can accommodate no more than 100 different students.

Resilience can be delivered face-to-face or online and is able to be delivered in Welsh.
