Building Personal Resilience

Resilience is the ability to face life’s challenges, cope with change, overcome obstacles, and rebound from setbacks. We are not born resilient — building and maintaining resilience is an ongoing journey requiring dedication, time, and commitment. Resilience is like a muscle, it grows when you use it. Becoming more resilient can be achieved by learning and practicing strategies that foster resilience. 

The Building Personal Resilience workshop examines emotional and physical wellness to help you learn strategies to increase your personal resilience so you are more prepared to navigate everyday activities and to deal with challenges, setbacks and change in your work and personal life.

The workshop will help participants:

• define resiliency
• understand factors that contribute to resilience
• learn personal strategies and practical activities to enhance resilience
• increase awareness of resources and supports

Building Personal Resilience is an optional course in the UAdvance program
