Building Wellbeing and Resilience is part of the How to Help series of
books exploring issues commonly faced by children and young people at
home and at school, Building Wellbeing and Resilience offers a
complete introduction to these critical yet frequently misunderstood
topics. Often confused with mental health or physical wellness,
wellbeing fuses aspects of both and wider elements into a general sense
of 'how we are.' Resilience, meanwhile, is the ability to deal with
adversity and move forward. High wellbeing fosters resilience and, in a
virtuous circle, resilience is linked to high levels of wellbeing.
Exploring these topics along with related issues such as measuring
wellbeing, using positive psychology approaches to boost strengths, and
the impact of neurodiversity, Rob Long considers the importance and
impact of wellbeing and resilience at home and in the classroom--and how
parents, carers, teachers, and schools can help.
