Resilience is the ability to persevere and adapt when things go awry. Although many things in life are uncertain, one thing is for sure, life includes many adversities. There are inevitable daily hassles; Work dumped on your desk at 4:45 pm, children who need to in different places at the same time, disagreements with your partner, still some major ones: health issues, lost job, failed relationship, even greater traumas involving loss of loved ones.
STRENGTHS-BASED RESILIENCE (SBR) TRAINING FOR EDUCATORS
Strengths-Based Resilience (SBR) training is an experiential, evidence-based, and culturally nuanced program that equips educators with practical tools to foster resilience and well-being. Conducted over 1 to 3 days, it integrates positive psychology principles and adapts to diverse cultural contexts. SBR train-the-trainer programs engage educators in interactive sessions that blend theoretical frameworks with practical strategies for promoting resilience in educational settings.
