Resilience interventions

• Avoid any life obstacles or challenges
• Struggle to find confidence when facing difficult situations
• Dwell on past set backs or events
• Struggle to use past experiences as a motivator for tackling current situations
• Struggle with change
• Are dealing with high levels of stress

If you are interested in how a resilience intervention could benefit you, or people around you, then please contact the HSR Psychology team to find out more.

What are the benefits of a resilience intervention?

Resilience interventionscan benefit for the young person in many ways, including:

• The ability to continue trying even when something doesn’t go right the first time
• Increased confidence when facing life’s challenges
• Viewing a set back as a learning experience
• The ability to use new awareness to deal with future challenges
• A focus on the future rather than dwelling on the past
• The ability to use techniques like relaxation to cope with challenges

Following a resilience intervention, we will specify some recommendations for individual. They are a useful tool in helping the individual to bounce back from an obstacle. 

What happens prior to a resilience intervention?

Resilience interventions can be carried out once an initial discussion has taken place, please see our process below.

What happens during a resilience intervention?

During a resilience intervention with HSR Psychology, the young person will discuss obstacles they are facing or have faced. The HSR Psychology professional will often encourage the individual to think about how they can approach an obstacle differently. The individual will be taught strategies for coping when things don’t go the way they wanted or expected. The specialist will prompt the young person to use their coping strategies in daily life. The young individual will then be able to reflect on how well they overcame a situation once they begin using resiliency techniques.

What happens after a resilience intervention?

After a resilience intervention we will have an idea of a child or young person’s needs and how to reach their true potential. Following a resilience intervention it may be sensible that we plan follow up sessions, if the individual would benefit from these. We can provide outcomes from a resilience intervention through either a feedback session or a written report, if needed. The HSR Psychology team will support you throughout the entire intervention process.

Does a resilience intervention come with a report?

A report following an intervention is always recommended. It will include what we did, the impact we had, and our recommendations for the future. A detailed written report is available after a resilience intervention highlighting strategies for coping with obstacles. A report from a resilience intervention can be utilised in many ways. Reasons for requesting a resilience intervention vary. If a report is not required, we can provide feedback verbally, along with a brief summary. More information on our reports can be found here.
