Resilience is the thing that equips kids to successfully navigate the complicated and often stressful world, and still be able to take advantage of the opportunities available to reach their goals and dreams with confidence. Strong resiliency skills are critical for our kids to have in this rapidly changing world. This camp combines my most popular one-time classes for an accelerated experience in resiliency skill building. In this course, students get to learn about and practice using specific emotion regulation tools so that they feel confident in their ability to get back to a calmer state. Students will also learn the concept of a "growth mindset" to better understand that they have control over their learning and behaviors, and apply it to developing a habit of expressing gratitude. Students will continue learning about how to develop healthy thinking habits by being aware of unhelpful thoughts and applying a strategy to shift toward more helpful thinking. Next, students will learn about how to communicate and listen more effectively so that they increase connection in their relationships. And finally, the camp wraps up with practicing problem-solving skills to be able to overcome challenges that come up in life. These skills all contribute to a more resilient kid! Classes are designed to be interactive and sometimes silly as we engage in conversations and games about these topics, use worksheets to practice, and occasionally watch brief videos to illustrate the skills.

Parental Guidance
I encourage parents to listen in to the lessons or ask your child about what s/he learned so that the skills can be applied as a family for maximum benefit. Because this is a skill-building class, it is not a substitute for individual, group, or family therapy. Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like further guidance with the material.
Supply List
Make sure your student has paper and pen/pencil for each class. PDF's will be provided for each topic.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I believe resilience is a critical trait for anyone working toward being the best they can be, and it is something that can be strengthened like a muscle. I am personally committed to helping build resilient kids, and ultimately resilient families, in my own community and beyond. I have a background as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. However, most of my work has been as a Resiliency Skills Trainer with a program out of UCLA Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior. In that position, I taught several skill-building workshops with groups of kids (ages 3-13) and adults. I also worked with families individually. I taught the skills of emotion regulation (including healthy thinking styles), communication, goal setting, and problem-solving.
I am excited to bring my background and personal style to Outschool so I can help you accomplish your goals. My approach to teaching resiliency skills with kids is especially unique because I focus on connecting with each child in a way that creates a FUN and ENGAGING learning environment! I can't wait to meet your child and begin learning together!Reviews
