Now, Resilience and Results has been produced by the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition and is being sent free of charge to every school in England.

The publication offers advice on encouraging resilience in pupils, to support them both with academic success and life outside of the classroom. It focuses on strategies to prevent behavioural and emotional difficulties.

It also offers guidance around how schools can access funding options including commissioning additional support services and collaborating with local agencies. It signposts useful services and projects as well.
