Psychological resilience could be defined as an individual's ability to successfully adapt to life in the face of adverse conditions. Resilient people don't dwell on failures - they acknowledge the situation, find strength to embrace emotional difficulties and move on. This flexible training pack is designed to be used in one-to-one sessions as well as for group work. It teaches the Resilience Coaching Model, a non-directive approach whereby the facilitator encourages the learner(s) in the proactive self-management of resilience. Using this proactive approach, learners will be able to: - make a conscious decision to shape a resilient lifestyle - assume responsibility for the quality of their life - make changes to enhance their resilience - understand the difference between what they can change and what they cannot and focus their energies wisely - develop a resilient lifestyle which will allow them to revitalize and re-energise themselves so that they can continue to thrive in the face of the demands of life.
