RESILIENCE TRAINING
“Loved it. Literally the only training session where I looked forward to the activities and I didn’t want to duck to the bathroom even though I needed to because I didn’t want to miss anything!”

Resilience training to help your staff bounce back
It’s a bit of an understatement to say that the world of work has become more complex. It’s faster, with constant change and there’s just…more. More going on. More to deal with. And that means that more is also being asked of us. Cognitively and emotionally. So feeling resilient – like you have sufficient coping strategies and enough in the ’emotional tank’ to get you through the ups and downs – is an important piece of the workplace mental health puzzle. It’s not the only piece – there are clear requirements for workplaces to do their bit to reduce workplace stress that is impacting on the mental health of their employees. But feeling confident that you have the skills to cope with what work – and life in general – throws your way has benefits for mental health and wellbeing generally.
Our resilience training provides practical strategies to help you to manage stress, find the positives and ‘top up your tank’. It’s also interactive and provides opportunities for your staff to build their relationships and connect with each other (which is another important part of resilience). And have fun. Because laughter is its own kind of medicine.
