Building Resiliency is a non-thematic small-group counselling approach that addresses the fact that all children, regardless of their particular problems, need to be resilient. Each of the book's eight research-based topics is discussed in four to five sessions designed to help students develop traits that promote resilient behaviours. The topics are: Being Healthy; Goal Setting; Problem Solving; Understanding & Commuinicating Feelings; Managing Stress; Personal Competency; Social Competency; Positive Outlook. The book also includes formats for group sessions of various lengths, teacher and parent/guardian survey forms, a resiliency quiz which can be used as a pre- and post-test, ASCA standards for each topic, and information supporting the use of resiliency group counselling. This all-inclusive research-based program includes a CD with colour PDF files of all the reproducible materials.
