Resilience: The Emotional Capital in Young People

Jay Baughan presents an insight into youth resilience, lifting the lid on the often used term and showing how by defining and then measuring the 10 social emotional skills, it is possible to empower young people to build and maintain resilience – and that this has a value – as individual and collective emotional capital.

Too often society thinks that resilience is born into us, and not nurtured. Jay reveals his international work and collaborations for building resilience within communities through these 10 social emotional skills and Emotional Intelligence. He also introduces how in the UK, United Arab Emirates, Ghana and Nigeria he is currently measuring these skills to pinpoint levels of youth resilience as their emotional capital – looking at this by Age, Gender and Location.

Join Jay for a fascinating whistle-stop insight into Resilience: The Emotional Capital in Young People.
