Description

Human beings face obstacles, challenges, and disappointments every day that lead to uncomfortable feelings. Our ability to bounce back or be resilient to these difficulties plays a large role in our ability to adapt and thrive in life. This webinar series will explore the factors that contribute to resilience and how it can be taught in the classroom to promote effective coping. 

To receive PDPs and CEUs, participants must attend all 5 sessions and successfully pass a quiz following Session 5. Following the live webinar, registrants will be emailed a link to view the recorded webinar. The recording will be made available for 7 days after each session.
