This video was made by our Peer Leadership Team (PLT) to show a fun twist on coping and resilience. The video is 4 minutes long:

Discussion Points
We can't always control what other people do, but we can control how we react.
How can we "shake it off" when something hurtful is said or done?
  • What things can you SAY to yourself? (positive self-talk - I'm good at lots of things. There are people who care about me. My friends know that isn't true. I'm good at rugby. etc.....)
  • What can you DO to "shake it off?" (take a deep breath, think about your favorite things, ignore and focus on someone else, walk away, etc)
What examples did you see in the video of ways to "shake off" what others say or do?
