Building Resilience teaching resource

This free teaching resource helps your secondary school learners build resilience whilst showing kindness to themselves and others.

Young people are faced with many different challenges each day. As educators, it is important that we support young people in developing the skills that can help them to grow their resilience and cope with adversities they may be faced with.

The activities in this resource were co-produced by a group of young people from around the UK who worked alongside staff at the British Red Cross. The successful co-production project gave the team an insight into the challenges faced by young people, as well as the activities that young people would like to see in the classroom.

Learning objectives

• Learn about the challenges faced by young people.
• Apply your learning and practice empathy to help others build resilience.
• To share ways in which people can be helped through the power of kindness.
