This resilience resource can help your students develop skills and strategies to adapt to difficult circumstances and maintain their emotional and mental well-being. It focuses on helping the students to build strengths to help them cope with difficulties and challenges in school and thrive in adversity.

Our students' life at school can be challenging and lead to disengagement and lack of concentration and focus.

Creating a positive environment for our students in school could help them build their resiliency to help them cope withand manage the difficulties they encounter. We believe building a positive environment will make our students feel supported, more engaged, more connected to their teachers and classmates, and achieve better academic results.

One of the strengths we want to develop and enhance is resilience.

**Resilience **is the ability to bounce back from difficulties and not let failure overcome and drain your resolve but find a way to rise again. By helping our students boost their resiliency, they experience more positive emotions than negative emotions, are less depressive, have greater resistance to stress, and it also boosts their immune system which leads to good health.

Our resilience lesson includes:

What is resilience and what is not resilience

Keeping positive

Goal-setting

Feelings activity

Problem Solving

Character Strengths

Stress Management

*******************************

Self-awareness is the ability to recognize and understand oneself, including one's thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and motivations. It involves having a clear and accurate perception of one's own strengths, weaknesses, beliefs, values, and identity. If you know yourself well and how you function, then you will understand how your feelings impact your thoughts and actions, how you can improve, why you succeed, why you fail, what you want, and what steps you should take to make progress.

This resource includes 20 Self-Awareness Activity Worksheets and Answer Keys. These activities provide many different opportunities for students to practice developing their self-awareness skills, recognize and accurately interpret their emotions, and use that knowledge to help them respond to their emotions and feelings in the most appropriate manner. Students with strong self-awareness are able to understand the root causes of their emotions and behaviors, avoid uncomfortable situations that trigger them, adapt more easily to their environment, build stronger, healthier relationships with people, empathize with others, consider and understand the perspectives of others in relation to their own, and engage in fewer disruptive classroom behaviors.
