A unique and empowering guide for anyone concerned with youth development. A Leader’s Guide to The Struggle to Be Strong presents a creative and insightful connection of thirty stories written by teens about their own struggles to the seven resiliencies developed by Sybil and Steven Wolin is a masterpiece of strength based practice! It is refreshing and truly empowering to find a book that uses kids’ struggles and pride to help other kids identify their unique resiliencies. A Leader’s Guide to The Struggle to Be Strong is a gift to any strengths based practitioner. The concrete session plans offer suggestions for group leader preparation and practical suggestions for using the thirty stories in The Struggle to Be Strong. I will immediately give a personal copy to my teachers and group leaders.
An excellent and one of its kind resource for changing hearts and minds!
