Did you know? Becoming more resilient not only helps you get through difficult circumstances, it also empowers you to grow and even improve your life along the way.
When something goes wrong, do you tend to bounce back or fall apart? When you have resilience, you harness inner strength that helps you rebound from a setback or challenge, such as a job loss, an illness, a disaster or loss.
Resilience won’t make your problems go away — but it can give you the ability to see past them, find enjoyment in life and manage stress. If you aren’t as resilient as you’d like to be, you can develop skills to become more resilient. Becoming more resilient not only helps you get through difficult circumstances, it also empowers you to grow and even improve your life along the way. This workshop offers tips and techniques to manage stress, strengthen coping skills and learn to thrive.

Testimonials for our Rebuilding our Resilience workshop
“I loved this workshop because it allowed me the time to evaluate my mental health in this ever-changing world, and think about who is important in my circle, and the role that social media plays [in our mental health].”
“The discussion around deciding on values and boundaries was useful for me because it made me realize just how much of the things I value really reflect the way I was brought up and previous traumas in my life. It made me question what is “me” and, what is “me as a result of exterior forces”, and how I want to continue going forward.”
“I really took a lot from the introduction to developing a self-care plan.”
“The whole session was useful. I loved it! I especially liked the social connections map, and how it’s always good to look at my own support people and if they need to be re-evaluated based on what’s best for me. I also like the idea of setting SMART goals and using the WIN formula to resolve conflict when it arises.”
