"That it feels nice and safe."
"It talked about subjects that you might not be able to talk about with others it helped me with issues I can relate to."
"Talking about bullying and know what to do if it happens."
"It taught me many things I didn’t know and how to cope with things I couldn’t cope with."
"Everything we touched on was very real and nothing was sugar-coated. Everything that was talked about are serious problems that for once weren't brushed aside."
"Learned to control anger."
"I liked how it taught us how to handle the stress that school brings."
This is just a sample of the feedback from our Resilience Academy Programme in 2017. O
Over 175 students from 3 schools availed of the programme in 2017 and an evaluation of the initiative during this period showed that more than 99% of students gained in resilience.
Taking a closer look at individual students showed gains on almost every measure following their engagement with the programme, with particularly high increases in their confidence in their ability to handle upset feelings and their belief that things usually turn out well.
