These are three (3) key research-based underpinning of well-being that can support our mental health, our relationships, and our capacity for success. In my talk, I will describe each E and strategies we can use to promote each E in ourselves as we move into the school year. |

What is Resilience Made of? The Mental Abilities that Determine Well-being We are told to try to manage our stress levels and engage in self-care, but what does that really mean? This talk will discuss recent research on the psychology of well-being and resilience, drawing on studies conducted here at UTM. Dr. Farb will present evidence on the mindfulness-to-meaning theory, which suggests that our well-being depends on at least two (2) trainable capacities: (1) the ability to break away from our harmful mental habits, and (2) the ability to discover new access points to happiness and meaning. This presentation will offer practical skills to improve own ability to navigate life's inevitable stresses. |
