Synopsis

HOW TO HELP young people build strengths, overcome challenges and flourish…

The term ‘wellbeing’ fuses aspects of mental and physical health, fulfilling relationships, growth opportunities and other elements into a general sense of overall happiness and health. High wellbeing is linked to resilience – the ability to cope with difficulties and move forward – and vice versa. But how can we as responsible adults ensure that the young people in our care develop the skills needed to stay positive, bounce back from adversity and maintain overall contentment?

Part of an exciting new series of books examining issues commonly faced by today’s young people at home and at school, Building Wellbeing and Resilience provides a practical, jargon-free guide to helping individuals develop high levels of wellbeing and resilience through childhood, young adulthood and beyond. Drawing on ideas and techniques from positive psychology and including guidance, activities and exercises throughout, acclaimed child and educational psychologist Dr Rob Long explores a wide range of topics including signature strengths, family dynamics, school transitions and the impact of hardship – and shows any parent, carer, teacher or school HOW TO HELP.
