Why do some young people cope with difficulties more easily than others? What factors really make a difference to how we deal with adversity? What can practitioners do to make a difference? This Children in Wales one-day course explores how you can develop an approach that builds on strengths to help young people deal with adversity, cope with change, survive disappointment and manage crises. It will draw upon practice, research and theory.

– Resilience, risk and coping – what do we mean
– Key resilience qualities for individuals and families
– Implications of the different coping styles of young men and women
– Protective factors for individuals, families and communities
