BUILDING PERSONAL RESILIENCY

From Managing Stress to Building Resiliency

 

Program Overview:

Resiliency is the ability to withstand or recover from difficult situations. It includes the capacity to cope with excessive demands and stressful events without experiencing any undue personal stress. This workshop is designed to help participants understand resiliency and offers practical training in skills, strategies and insights that will enhance their resiliency.

Specific stress management techniques and strategies will be introduced to assist participants in adopting a new response and developing flexibility and resiliency in an ever changing and challenging work environment. Special emphasis is placed on adopting a new response to stress in the workplace and dealing with change.

The program is individualized through the Stress Resiliency Assessment (SRA). The SRA is a confidential and anonymous self-report questionnaire that measures mental habits that determine stress levels. Prior to the workshop, each participant completes the SRA and returns the questionnaire to the office of the program director. The data is then compiled and analyzed to create a report for each participant and customize the learning activities for the workshop based on the spread of profiles.
