Partner Work

• What does it mean to ‘face up to’ a problem?• In what ways might a person face up to a problem?

(Talking it over with a friend, writing in a diary/journal, etc.)

• What would the opposite situation be like - to not face up to the problem?

• In what ways might a person overcome a problem?• Can you think of ways that ‘overcoming’ a problem may

be achieved and give some examples?• How might/does it feel to overcome a problem?

Partner Work Continued• Can you share an example of a time when you overcame a

problem and explain what you did and how it felt?• What might it mean to ‘increase possibilities in our lives’?• Thinking generally, can you think of an example of a time

when overcoming a problem may have increased the possibilities in someone’s life?

• More personally, can you think of and share a time when a possibility in your life was increased due to overcoming a problem? If not, can you think of a way that this may happen in the future for you? (Going to college / university, graduating, etc.)
