About this Online Workshop

There’s an old saying, "you know how well the roof has been built only when it rains." We have all been facing significant changes over the past months. Some people have adjusted and learned how to cope with these new stresses. Others may find themselves still struggling in this new normal. Facing loss of motivation and difficultly adjusting to working from home, many are finding themselves feeling as though they have more time than they know how to effectively fill.

Resiliency is the key to resisting the negative impacts of stress and learning to rebound from prolonged stressful events. Most people already have a sense of what resiliency is, and now more than ever, our coping skills and resiliency will be tested. Join us in this six-part virtual workshop, where we will expand on your current resiliency skills and intercept the negative impacts of living through a pandemic. Complete with a skills-building manual, this interactive virtual workshop aims to develop and enhance your current resiliency and support you in reducing your current stress levels.

NOTE: This is an interactive, virtual workshop, which is different from a webinar. Participants will be expected to participate through voice and video, and to engage with each other and the facilitator in large and small group discussions, to learn from each other and practice skill development.
