Outline:
Resilience is the happy knack of being able to bungee jump through the pitfalls of life. The demands and challenges in life are on the increase. Teenagers are particularly vulnerable to the pressures of peers, social media and high expectations. It is important that they learn the competencies to not only rebound from difficulties but to thrive and have grit to try again!

- Have a clearer understanding of the competencies needed for resilience enhancement and development.
- Be able to use the assessment instrument to measure the teenager’s level of resilience.
