Raising Awareness of Mental Health

Attributes of resilient young people:

1. Social competence: empathy, caring, flexibility, communication skills, and a sense of humour

2. Problem-solving skills: think abstractly, generate alternate solutions, planning, seek help from others

3. Critical consciousness: insightful awareness of structures of cruelty (e.g. an alcoholic parent) and strategies in overcoming them.

4. Autonomy: sense of own identity, act independently, able to exert some control over the environment

5. Sense of purpose: having goals, educational aspirations, and a belief in a bright future (Zolkoski and Bullock 2012)
