Resilience: The Ordinary Magic
When researchers tried to
predict who was most susceptible to mental health challenges, they discovered some
people who seemed to be
invincible to the risk factors.

of resilience. All of us have
resilience within ourselves to
help overcome the adversities
of life. We just have to learn
how to harness it. This training
explores five simple practices of resilience and provides
practical tasks attendees can
do to make resilience part of
their everyday life. As a bonus,
