Resilience & Emotional






                                                                         Regulation









                        Other people have lots of stressful experiences and this

                        can result in them becoming more vulnerable to stressors.








                        When something bad happens, stress chemicals are released into


                        our body.





                        We call these ‘blue stress chemicals’; they can make us feel pretty


                        rotten.
























































                         These chemicals are actually our body’s clever way of giving us


                         extra energy to ‘fight or flight’


                         and keep us safe.





                         We call these ‘Stress Responses’.
