Cultivate Resilience: Six Steps for Stress Inoculation

Preserve your own well-being while serving your institution and addressing student crises.

Student affairs professionals face a daunting task today. They have to deal on a daily basis with a range of stressful situations, such as student anxiety and depression, sexual assault cases, and mental health crises.

It is obvious that many of these professionals are stressed to the max. They may assume that they intuitively understand what it means to deal with these pressures. Often this is not the case.

If student affairs professionals want to avoid burning out, they need tools for maintaining and nurturing their own mental health and balance. And these tools can, in turn, be shared to equip students to do the same.

Consider registering your entire team for Cultivate Resilience: Six Steps for Stress Inoculation. The presenter will draw on her years of experience teaching psychology to lead this systematic and timely presentation on stress inoculated resilience.
