About
This course helps you understand resilience as a changing process. You will learn how resources, actions, relationships, environments, and time influence how you respond to stress, change, and adversity. You will practice assessing challenges, regulating responses, solving problems, seeking support, making meaning, setting boundaries, tracking recovery, and preparing for future demands. Resilience does not require constant strength or forced positivity. This course supports practical choices while recognizing when professional, medical, mental health, legal, or emergency help may be needed.
