Student Resilience

BLNCE was authored by Dr. Alish Rodgers in 2021 in collaboration with the Matt Hampson Foundation. These strategies and activities are adapted from evidence-based therapeutic models which have been shown to increase resilience levels, positive future outlook and coping skills (e.g. MBCT). This workshop will outline accessible, fun and interactive activities/strategies that can be part of the school curriculum to support staff to build resilience levels in pupils. The activities and strategies are adapted in line with the professional remit of educational staff members and are not presented to be used in a 'therapeutic manner’ but can be implemented as part of the every-day school curriculum.
