The Resilience Doughnut helps parents and carers find out ways to support children as they grow and change and face the inevitable difficulties that life sometimes brings.

The Resilience Doughnut shows parents the areas of strength that are already working well in their child’s life and gives ideas about how to use these strengths to enhance resilience further. It empowers parents to draw on all the other resources that are available to them and combines these positive strategies to support them in raising their children.

Carers of young people can also use the Resilience Doughnut process as a practical tool to assist them to develop strategies and support mechanisms to draw on and enhance the life skills of the children in their care.

“The Resilience Doughnut completely changed how I was approaching my kids. I was trying to help them by fixing the problems. Now I focus on their strengths and it really works. The flow on effect is evident in his change in attitude at school.” - Parent of two
