This workshop will be an introduction to the Resilience Builder Program (RBP). The RBP is an evidence-based group intervention based using cognitive behavioral framework to teach skills based on protective factors that promote resilience. It is designed to help children and teens adapt to the hardships, challenges, and difficulties in their daily lives.
The full RBP includes 30 sessions to teach resilience skills. The workshop will provide an overview of the RBP and will cover select topics in the RBP as well as adaptations to implement the RBP in school settings.
This workshop will explain variations of the RBP and provide hands-on demonstrations for specific topics. RBP lessons are interactive and incorporate didactics, discussions, and role-plays with emphasis on group members developing a greater sense of self-efficacy and self-mastery through behavioral rehearsal.
Topics covered include being proactive, cognitive flexibility, stress management, healthy thinking, sportsmanship, anger and anxiety management, self-regulation, starting and maintaining conversations. Relaxation, mindfulness, and self-regulation techniques help children and teens increase awareness of thoughts, body, emotions and actions through calm breathing, self-talk, visualization, progressive muscle relaxation, and yoga are included.
Resilience Builder program includes at-home assignments and parent letters to help promote generalization at practice outside of lessons.
