Increasing Resilience

▪ Making Connections: Start thinking about what might

interest you - from rock climbing, the gym, dance,

football or skateboarding to art and design, drama,

computer programming, gaming, animals, gardening,

hair and makeup or music.

The more you get involved in, the better connections

you will create. And the better your connections, the

better you will feel.

▪ Experiences: Build up your confidence

in doing things. Ask someone you trust

to help you find and try new

experiences. The more experiences you

have, the more confident you’ll feel.

▪ Knowing strengths: Speak to someone you trust

about helping you to build up a clear picture of your

strengths. Use our Strengths & Difficulties cards to help.

▪ Accept & manage difficulties: Don’t let your

difficulties become a barrier to you achieving well and

feeling great. Ask for help in finding ways to minimise

any difficulties you have.
