Resilience is the power to bounce back when things get tough. Life isn’t always easy, and things don’t always go the way we want. Resilience helps you stay positive and keep trying. It’s about learning from difficult experiences and becoming stronger.

Picture a rubber band. You can stretch it, twist it, and pull it, but it always snaps back to its original shape. People can be like rubber bands too. When something challenging happens, like moving to a new school or falling out with a friend, being resilient means you can manage your emotions and return to feeling okay again.

To build resilience, you can practice positive thinking, ask for help when you need it, and remember how you’ve managed in the past. Just like any skill, the more you practice, the better you’ll get. But if you’re struggling, don’t forget to ask for help. Use the resources and links on Branch, or find a service in Wirral to help you.
