"In The Resilience Workbook for Teens, Cheryl brilliantly pulls
together a range of activities and tools that have helped me better
understand myself; a book every young person needs to read. As a
young adult trying to figure out my purpose and where I fit in this
world, this accessible, practical, and easy-to-read guide allowed
me to work these things through, alongside an author who felt like
not only a mental health professional, but a confidant and friend
who wanted absolutely nothing but the best for me. Anyone, at any
age, can learn something from the concepts, ideas, and activities
in this book. I wish I could hand this to my younger self and would
encourage anyone reading this to share it with all the young people
in your life."

"Adolescence can be a challenging time for many individuals, and
learning to adapt and be resilient in the face of so many changes
can be especially difficult. The good news is, resilience is a set
of skills that can be learned. In The Resilience Workbook for
Teens, Cheryl Bradshaw has transformed resiliency skill building
into practical, engaging, and memorable activities to help you
learn to bounce back from whatever life has to offer. Her writing
is clear, charming, and engaging. Cheryl's warmth and compassion
shows through as though she is in the room with you, guiding you on
your journey."

"Cheryl is an amazing, relatable, and down-to-earth
psychotherapist. Her book is easy to follow, funny, and captures
the most up-to-date strategies in mental health. Strategies such as
self-care, mindfulness, goal setting, and cognitive behavioral
therapy (CBT) make this a go-to book for any adolescent--one
struggling with everyday issues or one who is struggling with more
persistent mental health concerns. Cheryl makes the reader feel as
though she is talking to them one-on-one. The exercises make the
book fun. A good self-help book for teens, or a great resource to
be used in conjunction with therapy."

"Engaging and transformative! The Resilience Workbook for Teens
fuses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior
therapy (DBT), and CBT in the perfect recipe for change. An
essential resource that delivers the ingredients and fosters hunger
for teens to make meaningful change in the relationship they have
with themselves!"

Guelph, and mother of teens--Erin Lipsitt, MSW, RSW
"In our world today, many youths lack the ability to face
challenging situations without becoming overwhelmed, often
resulting in escalating stress, anxiety, and depression. The
Resilience Workbook for Teens offers a full array of different
types of activities to help teens gain confidence in their ability
to traverse emotionally charged situations, face their fears, be
vulnerable, and come out on top. Writing exercises allow readers to
articulate their own feelings and values, and checklists offer
specific ways in which readers can directly take care of themselves
when energy is low. A great resource for all teens!"
--Karen Bluth, PhD, assistant professor in the department of
psychiatry, and fellow at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development
Institute at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; and
author of The Self-Compassion Workbook for Teens--Karen Bluth,
PhD
"So many of us who work with young people have been asking for a
manual exactly like this one. It is full of practical examples,
easy-to-understand science, and engaging exercises ideal for high
school students, mental health professionals, and parents who are
keen to help teens improve their resilience. Integrating new ideas
about individual resilience, Bradshaw offers readers a tool for
self-reflection and a deeper understanding of how stress and
self-doubt make teens vulnerable. It's a great resource, ideal for
both clinical and educational settings."
--Michael Ungar, PhD, author of Change Your World; Canada research
chair in child, family, and community resilience; and professor of

Ungar, PhD
"What an incredible resource! Cheryl's warm and down-to-earth voice
provides an engaging invitation for teens (and their parents) to
understand themselves more deeply. Through metaphors and powerful
stories, Cheryl helps teens understand that they are not alone in
feeling like their inner landscape sometimes seems like unfriendly
territory. This book provides a clear road map and simple, fun
activities for anyone who is ready to understand the patterns
they've been in, see their own inner strength, and embrace who they
are. I'm so excited to share this book with my clients!"
