For teachers in the classroom, the Resilience Doughnut is an invaluable tool for assisting young people facing a changing and complex world. 

The Resilience Doughnut assists teachers to review their perspective in dealing with young people who struggle to cope with the educational challenges, peer group and social complexities of their life. It enables teachers to develop strategies and see a way forward for empowering these students to cope and succeed.

The Resilience Doughnut is an ideal tool for cross curricula planning as it supports lessons in PDHPE, peer group planning, home room activities and religious education groups. It covers many areas of the curricula such as community connections, self esteem, self control, resilience, and can be used along with literacy and IT programs.

The Resilience Doughnut is a powerful tool to use across the whole school as it builds students’ awareness of the coping resources available and enhances a whole school culture of resilience.

“The Resilience Doughnut challenges the prevailing culture of the schools I have worked in but frankly it is a welcome change. It helps to focus on what is working to achieve change and I feel more optimistic about the kids at the end of the day.”  - Year 7 advisor
