Building Resilient Minds
A pre-made, 1-hour educational presentation toolkit explaining the 'Why' and 'How' of building resilience.
Resilience is a fundamental skill that correlates to higher life satisfaction and success. This guided, interactive presentation explains the relevant neuroscience of resilience (The 'Why') and provides frameworks and strategies for proactively building more resilient minds (The 'How').
High resilience is strongly correlated to life satisfaction and our long-term success.
Improving resilience is considered a major protective factor for mental health and overall wellness.
People who are more resilient can adapt in challenging situations, helping those around them.
Failure is part of life, and resilient people are able to use failure to aid in their future success.
We've already created the educational content and discussion prompts. Your role is being the facilitator, and you'll receive a full guide that even provides suggestions for engaging your participants in a discussion. In fact, we've had students as young as 9th grade run a smooth presentation for their peers!
Yes! Resilience is the way we respond to any challenge; good, bad, big, small. The higher your level of resilience, the easier it is for you to overcome and grow from those challenges.
Definitely, and at any age. Giving people frameworks and tools for facing and reflecting on challenges helps them develop more resilient brain pathways (i.e., become more resilient).
When we understand the brain, we are getting at the "Why" of our behaviors, which is the basis for behavior change.
The great thing about using the animated bug characters to represent different aspects of the brain is that anyone can relate to them. Aside from being relatable, they are a more memorable and interesting way to learn about some basic brain functions.
We take care of the education, you provide the facilitation
