RESILIENCE - EMOTIONAL RESISTANCE

AIM:

Resilience means emotional resilience, being able to protect our mental health in the face of life's stressful and challenging experiences, and even turning the crisis into a gem. The Latin origin of the word means "flexibility". In times of crisis, some of us are broken and bruised, while others, like an elastic material that stretches (changes) when bent, can revert to its former form or even become stronger.

 

The aim of the program is to learn and apply the knowledge, skills and approaches necessary to build and protect our emotional resilience in the face of any unavoidable negative situation, to better perceive and manage the situation and the stress created by the situation by using our cognitive and emotional intelligence.
