Promoting Resilience in Children, Adolescents and Adults.
Ms Lyn Worsley

Access to Lectures | Speaker

Research into personal resilience has traditionally focused on internal factors that make a person able to cope and bounce back in the face of adversity. Research has also focused on risk factors that hold a person back from developing resilience - providing identifiers for young people who are at risk.

Lyn Worsley will present a different model based on the protective factors that build resilience in the developing young person. This new model, called the Resilience doughnut, is a practical, solution and strength focused approach based on recent Australian research into what strong and resilient young people have in common. It is a simple model that busy GP’s can use to focus on the qualities most likely to strengthen young people, or Adults, facing a crisis or stressful situations.
