Description
Free Workshop - Resilience and Aging: an inside look
Current research shows that as we age, psychological resilience, our capacity to adapt and grow from adverse experience, tends to increase. This four-week lecture / discussion series reviews what we need to know about this crucial aspect of aging to ensure optimal resilience. The better we understand the nature of resilience and the conditions which create it specific to our own lives, the more likely we are able to savor this life stage with inspiration, courage, and a zest for life. This series is a synopsis of a six-week course offered through SFU Liberal Arts 55+.
Since having retired from her practice as a clinical counsellor and clinical supervisor in private practice, Monica Franz, MA, currently facilitates resilience related courses at SFU Liberal Arts 55+.
Week 1 Resilience: An introduction
What, exactly, is resilience? How do some of the pervasive cultural myths about aging impede our capacity for resilience? Learn about the resilience cycle and the nature of adaptation.
