Being Resilient*

This interactive workshop engages participants with the concept of resilience, the ability to bounce back from adversity and to recover quickly from setbacks.

The great thing about resilience is that it’s a skill than can be learned, practiced, and taught to others. Through the practice of resilience we create a shift in our mindset through positive framing when dealing with setbacks and stress. We can let go what we cannot control by viewing setbacks with a learning mindset rather than judging ourselves and others. And we can learn to draw on a reservoir of energy that supports a resilient mindset. During this workshop, you will learn healthy coping mechanisms so that you can quickly rebound from stressful events.
