How to join a Zoom meeting.

Life is an imperfect journey and crisis is guaranteed. There will always be setbacks and

misfortunes. Resilience is the ability to adapt to the challenges of life. It’s about bouncing

back rather than falling apart. If you are strong in resilience you have this ‘bouncibility’

and can harness your inner strengths and coping mechanisms.

If you are low in resilience, you will focus too much on your problems and deficits and be

overwhelmed during challenges. You will be drawn towards unhealthy conclusions and

become more vulnerable instead of stronger. Becoming more resilient will not mean that

problems disappear. It does not mean that you have to become ‘as hard as nails’.

Resilience is more about learning how to cope – tapping into our own resources and

fostering inner-strengths in order to stay ‘standing’ during and after crisis.

This seminar outlines some evidence-based strategies linked to greater

outcomes during challenge and change.
