Welcome the student and introduce the session’s purpose: building a resilience plan tailored to their strengths and experiences.

Speak through each objective slowly, ensuring the student understands the flow.

Review each material with the student and show where they can find it.

Ask the student to take five minutes to write a brief description of a recent or ongoing stressor. Provide prompts if needed.

Guide the student through each section of the worksheet: qualities, past successes, support. Help them circle their top three strengths.

Hand over the journal and invite the student to complete Prompt 1. Offer encouragement and model a sample if needed.

Display the table and fill out the first row with the student to model SMART goals, then let them complete the rest.

Encourage honest reflection. Note their answers and help refine tracking methods.

Summarize the SMART criteria and monitoring plan. Remind them to revisit the checklist in practice.

Offer praise, outline next steps (e.g., schedule follow-up, set reminders), and encourage ongoing use of narrative reframing and strengths recall.
