(Grades 3-7) Building Resiliency is a non-thematic small-group counseling approach that addresses the fact that all children, regardless of their particular problems, need to be resilient.

• Being Healthy
• Goal Setting
• Problem Solving
• Understanding & Communicating Feelings
• Managing Stress
• Personal Competency
• Social Competency
• Positive Outlook

The book also includes formats for group sessions of various lengths, teacher and parent/guardian survey forms, a resiliency quiz which can be used as a pre- and post-test, ASCA standards for each topic, and information supporting the use of resiliency group counseling.

This all-inclusive research-based program includes a CD with color PDF files of all the reproducible materials. 224 pages, soft cover.
