Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:
Huge attention and resources have been placed on the youth mental health crisis in recent years. Yet, the crisis is getting worse, not better. Existing solutions have assumed that today’s youth have a resilience deficit, thus creating programmes to ‘build’ or ‘create’ resilience. Knowing this would completely change the approach needed for today’s youth – and this is exactly what iheart has achieved. Our innovative, evidence-based mental wellbeing educational programme challenges current practices and outlooks and has already improved the lives of over 15,000 young people in twenty countries. Our role is to educate young people that they do NOT have a resilience deficit. Rather, we empower them with the confidence that they CAN uncover their built-in mental health, wellbeing and resilience so that they can overcome their challenges and realise their extraordinary potential. When we focus on solving the right problem – educating our children about their innate resilience –the evidence speaks for itself. 98% of children noticed a positive change in themselves at the end of the iheart programme. 95% would recommend the programme to a friend. 90% saw increased emotional resilience for dealing with adversity.
