Self-Esteem has a particular relevance during adolescence.
At a time of transition from childhood to adulthood, issues of self-identity, autonomy and self-evaluation come centre stage for the young person - as does an increasing preoccupation with others’ perceptions of self. We know that good self-esteem in early adolescence is a predictor of good well-being later on in life just as low self-esteem predicts depression in late teens.
However “self-esteem” is often poorly understood as a concept, as are the key interventions for promoting it – despite the key role it plays in adolescent mental health.
This 6 hr (2x 3hr) Masterclass with Paul Grantham unpackages the meaning of the term for young people, addressing common myths, whilst also highlighting and describing effective evidence-based interventions for improving self-esteem, many of which are NOT part of common practice.
Issues addressed include:
- Why adolescent self-esteem is not simply about “self-worth”
- Gender issues and self-esteem
- Specific cognitive strategies to build positive self-image and confidence in adolescents
- Tackling social media erosion of self-esteem in adolescents
- The key roles of self-care and physical presentation in adolescence; how to constructively use these to build self-esteem
- Developing young person’s positive social networks to build their self-esteem
- Questions and discussion
