Building Resilience to Manage Stress

This presentation looks at the part resiliency plays in helping us get through, and cope with, difficult and uncertain times.  Resiliency is not a strategy to help you reduce stress but rather it is designed to help you become stronger as a result of experiencing stress. Practicing resiliency helps us learn from stressful events in our lives, adjust and become stronger.
