Resilience is a term that I hear all the time, but how well understood is resilience?
So, what is resilience? Why is developing resilience so important? And, how do we develop it?
I see resilience or developing resilience as a healthy outcome of EAP Counselling Services. And, after many conversations with business owners, it seems that it is ONE of the most important outcomes that they want for their people. They want their employees to develop more resilience and coping skills - which will ultimately help them to be more productive and healthy.
Resilience is a powerful concept that plays a crucial role in our ability to navigate life's challenges. Let's dive into it and explore what resilience truly means, why it matters, and share some practical strategies for building it.
ENJOY!

As we navigate the challenges of the work environment, life environment, and our work/life balance, it’s essential to remember that we are not just colleagues but a supportive community that cares for one another.
Have you ever had that gut feeling that someone you know or care about isn’t quite themselves lately?
Perhaps they seem more agitated, withdrawn, or just not as cheerful as usual.
Trusting that instinct is the first step towards creating a workplace that values mental health and wellbeing.
