The study of psychological resilience aims to understand why some people can withstand – or even thrive upon experiencing – difficult life events. A resilient person can quickly bounce back from adversity and positively adapt to the novel demands of the situation. This course addresses the construct of resilience and introduces several key skills and abilities that have been found to promote resilience. More specifically, we address the extent to which attention is directed at positive and negative events, the interpretation of these events, the ways in which individuals deal with them, and the motivation for dealing with them in a particular way.

This course includes 5 private virtual sessions. Each session is 45 minutes.
