You are a young person who has just arrived in Frogsmouth:  a fictional town on the coast of Cornwall.  

 Armed with the Resilience Framework and aided by your talking dog, you spend a year making new friends, rising to meet new challenges and discovering your personal strengths as you become the ultimate Resilience Hero!

* Best played on desktop or tablet, not recommended for mobile.


Purpose

Resilience Hero was a project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, with development supported by Kate Pordage, Headstart Kernow and Cornwall Council. 

The intended audience is 10-16 year olds, particularly those who may be suffering from anxiety, depression or other mental health-related difficulties that may be impeding their ability to function in school or other social situations. Our aim was to create an interactive experience that could deliver the values of  the Resilience Framework to those that need it in an easy-to-digest, comforting and amusing way that could be used independently, or cooperatively!
