SPARK Resilience consists of an introductory session plus 10 sessions of 45 minutes. Adapted from the original version by Prof Ilona Boniwell and Lucy Ryan (2009), SPARK Resilience uses imaginary parrots to represent the messages we give ourselves, such as the Judge, the Worrier and the Enthusiast. Children learn how to challenge the parrots’ unhelpful messages and reframe their thoughts, whilst building a ‘resilience portfolio’ of character strengths and sources of support in their lives.
Through activities like mindful breathing, gratitude practice, and assertive communication, learners gain tools to manage emotions and respond constructively to challenges. SPARK is ideal for schools seeking to embed wellbeing into their curriculum in an engaging and evidence-based way.
A Listing is an individual learning opportunity.
