Building Resiliency is a non-thematic small-group counseling approach that addresses the fact that all children, regardless of their present problems, need to be resilient.
Each of the book’s eight research-based topics is discussed in four to five sessions designed to help students develop traits that promote resilient behaviors.
The topics are:
- Being Healthy
- Goal Setting
- Problem Solving
- Understanding Feelings
- Managing Stress
- Personal Competency
- Social Competency
- Positive Outlook
The book also includes formats for group sessions of various lengths, teacher and parent/guardian survey forms, a resiliency quiz which can be used as a pre- and post-test, ASCA standards for each topic, and information supporting the use of resiliency group counseling.
Downloadable digital content includes colorful level 1 Whiteboard compatible PDF files of all the reproducible pages.
