Best mates Ange and Tom the puppet, explore what it means to be resilient. Based on the work of leading psychologist Emmy Werner, the program suggests that people who are resilient have: 1) someone who cares for them 2) something to do and 3) something to hope for. While the issues are deep and significant, the program is fast, bright and entertaining, giving young people handy tips on: anger management, problem solving, being assertive ('I messages'), goal setting and having a positive attitude. Interspersed with Tom and Ange's exploration of resilience are comments from young people themselves. This is an engaging program that will help students look positively to the future.
