(Undergraduate)
Building & Engaging Resilience (in Adult Life) (4 credit hours) (Fac: Matamonasa): An ancient proverb reads: "Fall down seven times. Stand up eight." But how? What's involved in such flexibility, adaptability, tenacity, hardiness and resilience? What understandings, values and skills help? How does one develop these and nurture them across an adult lifetime? Through this seminar, participants will explore various concepts, models and "best practices" for growing, rebounding and selfguarding one's resilience given the challenges and uncertainties of adult life.
