Resilience

The workshop has three main aims:

• To build resilient students
• To encourage students to develop a growth mindset
• To provide techniques to reduce anxiety and stress

Through this Resilience workshop, students understand:

• What it means to be resilient
• How to stay in control of their emotions
• How to overcome stress
• How to decrease their ‘emotional backpack’
• How to challenge negative, habitual thought patterns

This workshop is focused on helping students to become more resilient. Students will leave with an increased understanding of how to adapt to adversity and how to develop grit and determination.

To retrain our brains and fully understand how resilient we are, we need to increase confidence and self-belief and reduce anxiety and stress. This workshop takes all these elements and combines them in a fully holistic experience, focusing on three main areas:

• Personal
• Academic
• Social

The sessions will cover each area in detail and provide strategies and techniques that will enable learners to reflect on their mindset and beliefs.

Students will leave this Resilience workshop with:

• An understanding of the importance of resilient language
• Ideas about how to increase their confidence
• Techniques to overcome anxiety and manage stress
• A positive outlook on using failure as a stepping stone to success

We recommend sitting students around tables in groups of six to eight 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

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.
