Now rate your learning, give an upwards arrow (confident), sideways (in-between) or downwards arrow (not confident) if you can…

• … list five factors that build resilience.

• … describe what makes people move along the mental health spectrum.

• … name some common factors that are triggers for moving towards mental ill-health.

• … choose one protective/bounce factor for each category of MY5 and put it into practice daily.

• … practise developing tools for each category of MY5.

If you have lots of downward arrows, why not try the tasks again or look up some further information below.
