The amazing A-Z of resilience - David Gumbrell

P is for Pirates, Q is for Questions and R is for Resilience. We all know PIRATES were always hunting for treasure. Follow this A to Z to QUESTION the world around you and you will find your way to the treasure within- your RESILIENCE!

This alphabet of objects presents 26 familiar objects as conversation starters to develop resilience. Each object introduces a wellbeing theme to open up discussions about mental health between teachers, parents/carers and children. There is an activity for each letter to help children aged 8-12 develop life skills to become more resilient.

Destigmatising mental health and providing children with the language to describe and communicate their wellbeing, this essential guide helps children to manage their inner emotions and feelings and makes these complex topics accessible and enjoyable to read about. It includes a section on how the book can be used and how to have conversations about resilience, feelings, emotion and mental health for the adult using this tool with a child.
