Building Resilience

Stress is a reality of modern life and can, in limited amounts, help us maximise our potential.

An overload of stress, however, can lead to fatigue, burnout, and impact our long-term physical and mental health. Using a range of tools and techniques, participants will learn how to keep their stress at an optimal level and balance pressure and performance.

This Building Resilience module is designed for anyone looking to successfully navigate the everyday stresses that they face, to understand the importance of building resilience, avoiding burnout, and to prepare to be flexible in the face of uncertainty.
