Description

Adversity, in whatever form it takes, is never welcome. It arrives unannounced, changes our plans, and disrupts our sense of control. What mindset do you bring to adversity? Do you approach difficulties with a growth mindset?Do you feel powerless and victimised by circumstances beyond your control? Reflecting on what we can influence—and accepting what we cannot—is key to coping effectively.We all experience adversity differently. You may be feeling stress, strain, or anxiety about commitments you aren’t able to honour right now. You may hear conflicting voices in your head about your ability to cope. The best way to learn is through each other's stories.Share your experiences, how you've confronted adversity in the past, and the strategies you’re using now.You might be watching this video because you are facing a challenge right now - or perhaps someone close to you is, and you want to support them. You may be seeking ways to prepare for adversity before it happens, which is an essential component of building resilience.This course was born from our struggles and the desire to share how challenges, large or small, can shape our mental health and our path forward.Join  us as we explore living through and preparing for adversity.
