EP Reach-Out webinar – “It takes a village to raise a child”: A whole system approach to developing resilience in education (RESTA and RESO) with Dr Esther Borrett
February 27 - 16:30 to 17:00
FreeOn January 7th, 2025, the BBC published an article titled “Child Mental Health Crisis: Better Resilience is the Solution,” highlighting the increasing mental health issues among young people in the UK, including rising cases of anxiety, depression, and self-harm. Experts in the article suggested that building resilience, rather than solely focusing on mental health awareness, could be key to addressing this crisis.
In this webinar, Dr. Esther Borrett will explain her research on educational resilience and discuss why developing resilience is seen as a sustainable approach to help young people thrive despite adversity. She will describe an intervention for schools and colleges that views resilience as a skill that can be nurtured over time through intervention and support. This intervention, named the Resilience Support Teaching Assistant (RESTA), along with its whole school approach (RESO), involves training school staff to embed resilience-building practices into school curriculums and cultures. Dr. Borrett will outline the context of the intervention, its use, and its impact, as well as discuss future developments.
