Resilience and Mental Fitness is an online course that helps individuals reimagine stress as pressure that when positively engaged, serves as the counterweight and stimulus for growth. Emotional reactions to stress can be positively managed by developing resilience skills, by practicing mental exercises designed specifically to stretch, strengthen, and forge new neural connections. Participants will discover how individual strengths are unique and different, and how insight into one’s tendencies makes it possible to take advantage of the magic of neuroplasticity to rewire your brain and change your behaviour.
