Emotional Resilience

Course overview

Intentional resilience building is an often overlooked yet critical asset to successful rehabilitation. Fundamental, evidence-based skill sets to build resilience can be integrated into self-care plans to support optimal healing for patients and to nurture the health professionals who serve them. Each course features a facet of the science of resilience, then offers an experiential component that can be immediately applied to home practice or used in a clinical setting. Psychoemotional response to navigating adversity in health status has historically not been well addressed in training rehabilitation professionals. If and when it is addressed, the opportunity to utilize positive psychology intentionally in the plan of care can be overlooked. Emotional resilience will be presented using trainable skill sets that can be embraced to benefit health professionals, our work environment, and those we serve.
