Course Content:
Drawing on the most up to date psychological research, this workshop will teach you about resilience, what it is and how you can get more of it over the following modules:


Introduction to Stress and Resilience
You will learn about stress and its impact on health and wellbeing; what research tells us about how resilient people cope differently with challenge and change, and how you can develop your own resilience skills.


Emotional Resilience
The first of three modules focusing on resilience skills teaches you how to: regulate negative emotions to stay calm under pressure; build positive emotions and supportive relationships for greater resilience.


Resilient Thinking
You will learn how your thinking styles affect your mood and behaviour, how to find more balanced thoughts using flexible thinking strategies and how you can use optimism to grow resilience.


Balance and Recovery
