Post Pandemic: Recovery, Renewal and the importance of Resilience

Mental health in Australia continues to be significantly impacted by what is now being termed the 'Shadow Pandemic'. If there is a remedy to the adversity caused by the pandemic, then it is the building of resilience. Resilience is the capacity to face, overcome, be strengthened and transformed by adversity. Never before have we needed the skills, the knowledge and the strategies to build resilience in our children and ourselves as much as we do now.

In this current environment, young people need support, understanding, empathy and encouragement from caring adults. Teaching them the skills to build resilience will enable young people to thrive and develop healthy coping strategies. There are 7 integral and interrelated components that make up being resilient. These are explained in more depth in this Special Report and includes suggested strategies on how staff, parents and carers can best facilitate them.

The following special report, is brought to you by one of our trusted partners, and is now accessible to all CAP member associations and their respective member schools. This important message can be emailed out to support your school community during this challenging time.
