Pic 66: The screen is replaced by one with the text “Here is a list of places you can go for more information about concerns you have. Select the ones you’re interested in:” at the top along with the following list:
Player chooses “Resource section, School, Community group, Local counseling center, Mental health and wellness center, and Your pediatrician or family doctor.”
Pic 67: The screen returns to Hope at the café.
HOPE: Great, I’ll make sure these appear in the summary at the end. If you have health insurance, your insurance provider can offer details on which services are covered and give you a list of providers in your area. There are also many places that offer services to members of the community for free or at a low cost.
Pic 68: A circle appears next to Hope with the title “Listen to Your Child.” Underneath is the text “Meet them where they’re at” with an arrow under it that points to the resiliency icon and the text “Building Resiliency.”
HOPE: There isn't one perfect way to parent. But if you're willing to listen to your child, talk about what they're going through, and meet them where they’re at, then you're empowering them to bounce back when faced with adversity. That's building resiliency.
Player chooses “I’m done for now.”
Pic 69: A banner appears under Hope with the words “Identify,” “Approach,” and “Get Support.”
HOPE: It was great talking with you today. Before you go, I just wanted to leave you with this story where I found all three Identify, Approach, and Get Support skills helpful.
Pic 70: The screen changes to an image of Hope sitting with her daughter at the kitchen table, with her daughter looking at a homework sheet. A box with an arrow indicates that the sheet is “Geometry.”
HOPE: So my daughter used to really struggle with geometry, and felt frustrated whenever she attempted her homework. At first, I admit it, I tried to do it for her, not that I even really remembered all that stuff very well, I just wanted to help! But that didn’t help her get better at geometry, and it certainly didn’t help her try harder to work on it after she felt frustrated or intimidated by it.
Pic 71: The screen changes to one titled “Ways to Get Help” which includes “Ask the teacher,” “Look up resources online,” and “Find a peer to tutor.”
HOPE: What did work in the end was brainstorming ways for her to get help. We talked about asking the teacher for some extra help; we looked up additional resources online; and talked about finding a peer to help tutor.
Pic 72: Below this list appears the text “Ask a classmate for tips” in green with a green checkmark next to it.
HOPE: By talking about it, and coming up with some solutions, she gained confidence to ask a classmate who was getting good grades for some tips and techniques.
Pic 73: The screen returns to Hope and her daughter at the kitchen table, with a new text box which says “grades are improving” with an arrow pointing to her worksheet.
HOPE: It really helped. She’s not getting A’s, yet, but she’s not throwing her hands in the air every time she gets frustrated either. And her grades are improving.
Pic 74: The text box is replaced by a banner with the text “Resiliency” next to the resiliency icon with an arrow pointing to the words “Finding creative solutions.”
HOPE: Building resiliency is developing the skills that teach your child what to do when things feel tough and finding creative solutions to overcome challenges.
Pic 75: The screen returns to Hope at the café.
HOPE: Before we finish up, now that we've talked a little, how confident do you feel about talking to your kids about building their resiliency?
Player chooses “Very confident.”
HOPE: Wonderful, I'm glad to hear you're feeling confident about building resiliency in your kids!
Thanks again for chatting today. I’ve prepared a summary of all the things we talked about, I hope you find it helpful! And remember, you can come back and talk more whenever you want. For now, goodbye, and good luck!
