Four Skills for Mental Health Resilience

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Free in-person event at the library.
At times of hardship and challenge, our resilience can be tested especially when faced with a once in a generation event like a global pandemic. When much of what we have previously taken for granted is impacted by restrictions, education in contacts with friends and loved-ones and the health risk all around us, being resilient is the difference between suffering and flourishing. In this short talk, we will explore four key skills for helping you with both mental toughness and resilience during times of adversity which are just as important as we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic. The good news is that these skills can be learned by anyone at any age and have been demonstrated to improve our ability to bounce back more quickly when adversity strikes. Join us for this thought provoking, educational and good humoured talk to support you with practical tips for enhancing your resilience.
