How can we put resilience into practice to cope better and boost our wellbeing in difficult times?

At this special event, Dr Chris Johnstone will share his expert tips for cultivating our resilience skills and show how evidence-based Positive Psychology practices can help us cope better with challenging situations. He’ll also describe how building resilience can be a way of nourishing our confidence, wellbeing and life energy.

Chris will share inspiring stories of people he’s worked with which carry powerful lessons for us about resilience. Whatever situation you face, Chris will invite you to explore the question: ‘What would a story of resilience look like here?’ Whether you're facing setbacks in your personal life, coping with work stress or responding to the challenges of COVID, you can nourish your resilience by applying the practices that help to build it.
