In this course, we practice activities that build on individual strengths and foster social connections, to improve stress management and increase resilience. We will use reflective writing, sharing in small groups, mindfulness exercises, and insights from research to increase self-awareness, practice skills of responding to life?s challenges, and facilitate growth in response to adversity.
This class does not count towards graduate degree requirements. There is a required ebook and a required strengths assessment for a total materials cost of approximately $45.
