Introduction
In this Unit, you will learn how to cater for and support children and
adolescents in resilience by :
* developing and enhancing
developmental assets and skills against social/emotional problems;
* promoting constructive
capabilities and aspire to develop healthy relationships; and
* enhancing positive
psychological competencies in terms of enacting prosocial behaviours.
Promoting resilience as a preventative measure protects children and
adolescents against mental health problems and is likely to increase
educational engagement. Specifically, fostering resilience assets,
constructive capacities, and psychological systems/competencies safeguards
children and adolescents against mental health problems and increases
educational success. Students will learn/engage in this unit by in-depth
literature review and will participate in individualized assessment tasks.
This unit will be delivered by Resilient Youth Australia Limited
