A Nurturing Resilience Card Deck: A Resource for Use with Vulnerable Children and Young People

By Juliette Ttofa

This colourful deck of playing cards is an easy-to-use resource designed to support building the resilience of children and young people in school settings. The cards offer a playful, child-friendly way to assess a young person's resilience and are particularly useful for schools wanting to offer early interventions in order to support the resilience of students who are vulnerable because of their exposure to adverse childhood experiences.

The resource includes:

52 'School Resilience' cards

15 'Child Resilience' cards

Nurturing Emotional Resilience mini guide

The Roots of Resilience Tool (a downloadable, printable resource)

The cards have been designed for use in groups or on a 1:1 basis by teachers, professionals and parents. They can be used independently or alongside the book　Nurturing Emotional Resilience in Vulnerable Children and Young People　(Ttofa, 2018), which elaborates on the research supporting the cards in more depth. An indispensable resource, the cards place a strong emphasis on the healing power of relationships, particularly the role of a nurturing trusted adult in building resilience in children and young people.
