It will challenge educators to reflect on the effectiveness of what they do.
Building Resiliency in Youth is written specifically for people who work with youth. It includes a brief explanation of the concept of resiliency, an outline of the factors that help to build it and practical ways of nurturing resiliency behaviours.
