• Learn how to recognise signs and symptoms of unhelpful responses.

• Review key elements and specific approaches involved in developing, adapting, and sustaining resilience.

• Explore ways to adapt, rebound, and move forward even stronger.

• Learn about potential impacts on wellbeing and how to promote adaptive and healthy responses.
