Resilience is a term that has gained traction in recent years, becoming the “buzzword” if you will. It’s easy to see why. It’s a word that resonates with parents, carers, educators - anyone who is involved in the lives of children and teenagers, as we all have similar goals – namely, to develop strong, capable, well-balanced and above all, kind, decent, and resilient young people.

Throughout this book, a number of Australia’s best experts will touch on some of the biggest and most challenging influences on young people today – including cyber safety, pornography, anxiety and self-harm.
