What exactly needs to be developed to become resilient?
Many agree there are different levels of resilience to be expected at different ages and even in different fields.
For example training on military resilience is very different from how we would discuss it with teens. This course will introduce concepts for variations and provide links to additional information.
For now, we are going to begin with the idea of the 7 Cs mentioned by Coach Reese. Here they are again in case you missed them: Confidence, Competence, Connection, Character, Contribution, Coping, Control.
These seven concepts really summarize where we need to focus our attention to become stronger in certain areas of our lives.
The students will be developing their personal research focusing on one or more of these areas.
You might consider researching along with them. Where do you think you might work a bit more on skills for bouncing back?
