Resilience in a Time of Crisis

Paul Kelleher, A.B. and M.A.T. Harvard, Ed.D. Columbia

The ability to bounce back from stress and adversity is essential amid the crises in today’s world. Resilience is not a fixed trait but an ability to be strengthened over a lifetime. It does not decline with age and older adults can be at least as resilient as younger adults.  Resilience also correlates with good health and longevity.

Three classes on October 21, 28, and November 4 from 1:30 to 3:00.

Paul will consider findings from both research and experience as well as explore sources of resilience and ways to expand our repertoires of resilience skills.
