This is a guide to help boost Personal Resilience. Resilience is a process of getting a robust attitude in the face of challenging and threatening events. It's also about becoming a stronger person as a consequence of facing up to and overcoming challenging experiences. This guide helps boost personal resilience by helping to strengthen attitude generally, so that when confronted by a specific challenging event, you have stronger all round personal resilience, and a greater understanding of how to face up to and overcome the challenge. Some aspects of resilience are personality dependant whilst others are skills determined. All elements can be learnt and strengthened. The guide provides tasks and exercises to complete, which, when taken together, will help boost overall personal resilience.
