Moving Through Adversity to Greater Resiliency
Stan Clark
 PowerPoint Slides
Uncertain times often lead to worry and feelings of uneasiness. Such reactions may be experienced as “invitations” to return to our foundational strengths and to seek supportive resources in order to restore and enhance feelings of well being in the midst of difficulty. Research on survivors of catastrophic situations has revealed patterns that lead to greater resiliency. In this workshop participants will explore those patterns to hopefully strengthen their capacities to move through adversity to greater resiliency.
Stan Clark is a Licensed Psychologist focused on organizational consultation and supervisor or employee training. He specializes in enhancing personal resiliency and well-being, and promoting organizational sustainability.
