Building resilience
Based on new research into Positive Psychology and resilience, I developed a workshop teaching the key skills to be resilient in response to the challenges of life. I have taught this workshop to numerous groups of students and professionals. I have also taught these skills to mental health professionals to incorporate into their therapeutic practice.
