After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Define resilience and its importance to health and wellness.
  2. Describe how to pilot, design, and implement a resilience workshop for college students, administrators, and professional colleagues.
  3. Discuss how to empirically evaluate their workshops.

Program Abstract:
This workshop teaches fellow clinicians and educators how to pilot a resilience training program on college campuses. Students who learn about resilience and utilize the skills taught in the resilience workshop are able to build their emotional fortitude and better cope with life's challenges. This is a workshop that utilizes both didactic and experiential learning opportunities, through the use of lecture, video, PowerPoint and group process work. My original workshop has been presented to hundreds of students, faculty and staff at Adelphi University.
