This innovative program details 30 group
sessions designed to help youth bounce back from the challenges in their
lives by increasing confidence, self-esteem, self-control, and the use of
coping strategies.
Group activities help develop the following specific protective factors
associated with resilience:
- Proactive orientation toward life
- Self-regulation of attention, emotions, and behavior
- Social connections and attachments
- Achievements and talents
- Community ties
- Proactive parenting
Each session encourages self-awareness, flexible thinking, and social
competence. Through discussion, role-play, and other hands-on techniques,
group members learn about self-talk, personal space awareness, problem
solving, anger/anxiety management, friendship skills, and other topics
essential to well being and social success.
Relaxation techniques including calm breathing, visualization,
progressive muscle relaxation, and yoga enhance self-regulation. And
homework assignments, community field trips, and a parent involvement
component help group members generalize what they learn to the world
outside the group.
An accompanying CD with PDF files of all the reproducible materials is
included with the book. |
