Growing Mentally Tough Teens: an evidence-based approach to building resilience, achievement and wellbeing for 14 to16-year-olds
Daniela Falecki,Teacher, The Positivity Institute

Schools and educators would love to see teenagers be more resilient, demonstrate growth mindset thinking strive towards goals, but how can we teach these concepts in practical and relevant activities to 14 to 16-year-olds? This workshop shares the evidenced-based 4C Model of Mental Toughness with practical ways to integrate numerous principles of Positive psychology. We know teachers are the key factor in students learning and this workshop supports teachers with the tools and resources in a sequential program any school could implement. Participants will leave with a framework to teach mental toughness, optional tools to measure mental toughness and a program to share with their school.
