Event Description Experts in positive psychology have long recognised that resilience is fundamental to good mental health and wellbeing and research consistently confirms that resilience is a capacity that is open to all to learn. Resilience is like a muscle – we need to use it to keep it strong, to prevent its power from diminishing. There is significant value in everyone investing time and energy into consciously developing resilience – as a strong protective factor for future mental and emotional health and wellbeing. In this session, we will explore how we can all commit to safeguarding and nurturing our resilience skills to protect our future mental and emotional health and wellbeing.
