In School Workshop

Emotional Resilience, Wellbeing and Stress Management for Examination Students

This workshop helps young people to recognise their emotions and use them in a positive way.
Emotionally strong young people cope well with stress, have a positive self-image, have the ability to love and care for others and are focused on meeting their own needs. This workshop helps young people to recognise their emotions and use them in a positive way.

There is a tremendous amount of change during adolescence and the demands of the leaving certificate and the points system adds to the pressure which young people experience. Therefore it is essential that young people have the emotional skills and capacity to recognise these pressures and respond appropriately. The purpose of this workshop is to help young people to recognise when they are under pressure, how to respond to it and how to build emotional resilience. This workshop is targeted at senior students who are likely to need to develop coping skills in the run-up to the leaving certificate.

“The workshop is full of new knowledge and helps build confidence and self-esteem.” – SONIA, DUNSHAUGHLIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
