🎧 Listen to Raising Teens: Resilience on BBC Sounds

Are teens more or less resilient than their parents’ generation? How can we build resilience in our young people?

With guests Clinical Nurse Specialist Rebecca Stanley, Chief Superintendent Jane Derrick, Army Cadet Force sergeant Andy Rolston and journalist and author Suzanne Harrington.
