About Reaching for Resilience

Reaching for Resilience is a two-session virtual program designed to help teens develop practical skills for managing stress, navigating challenges, and building emotional resilience.

Led by licensed clinicians, the program provides a supportive environment where teens can explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected while learning healthy strategies for responding to difficult situations.

Through discussion and skill-building activities, teens learn coping strategies, strengthen problem-solving skills, build confidence, and develop tools they can use when facing challenges in everyday life.

What Teens Will Explore

Through guided discussion and age-appropriate activities, Reaching for Resilience helps teens understand how they respond to stress, develop practical coping strategies, strengthen emotional awareness, and build skills for navigating everyday challenges.

  • Understanding Stress & Emotions

    Teens explore how stress can affect their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical well-being. They learn to recognize personal stress responses and identify situations that may trigger difficult emotions.

  • Building Healthy Coping Skills

    Teens learn practical strategies for managing stress and difficult emotions, including ways to calm themselves, shift unhelpful thinking, solve problems, and make healthy choices when faced with challenges.

  • Building Confidence & Resilience

    Teens strengthen their ability to adapt to challenges, recognize personal strengths, ask for support when needed, and develop greater confidence in their ability to handle difficult situations and move forward.

Parent Connection

  • After each Reaching for Resilience session, parents participate in a 30-minute Parent Connection designed to help them understand and reinforce the skills their teen has learned.

    Parent Connection provides practical information and strategies parents can use to support healthy coping, emotional well-being, confidence, and resilience at home.
