Building Resilience

Resiliency is the ability to spring back from and successfully adapt to adversity. As we return to campus and find our “new” normal, creating and building resiliency is going to be such an important component. Choose the practices that appeal most to you and create a resiliency action plan!

Webinar: Preparing Emotionally for Returning to the Workplace

If you are among the many employees who have spent much of the last year and a half working remotely and isolated from the physical presence of coworkers, you might have an array of reactions to the call back to the workplace. This stress check-in will assist those participants experiencing worry and anxiety as they contemplate this transition. Participants will learn to recognize feelings of anxiety, identify the sources, and use reasoning to create mental balance that eases comfort.

Refresh. Move. Nourish

These three words — refresh, move, nourish — are the guiding principles to help you take care of your body, mind and spirit. Taking time to unwind, staying physically active, and eating healthfully are all key factors in managing stress and anxiety.
