Resiliency can be thought of as a skill that allows teens to manage life's challenges, stresses, changes and pressures effectively, and cope with and adapt successfully to adversity. Bounce back to a balanced state after facing a major disruption in life or career planning. Each of the five separate sections helps participants learn more about themselves and how to build the resiliency which will enable them to thrive in times of adversity, change and stress.
