You can safeguard your own mental health by developing resilience, and increase your ability to cope with stress, recover from difficulties, and successfully navigate the "ups and downs" of life.  

Resilience is the ability to cope under pressure and recover from difficulties. 

Being resilient will help you to manage stressful situations, protect you from mental ill-health and improve your well-being. At work, this ensures that you can continue to do your job well and deliver high-quality care and support. 

It is not possible to take all of the stress out of work, which is why it’s important that everyone is supported to develop their resilience, and that employers take steps to reduce work-related stress. 

Although your team leaders, managers and employers may support you to build your resilience, it is important that you know what to do and how to support yourself to recover quickly from difficulties, by using the knowledge, examples, tips and templates provided in this course. 

For team leaders and managers, this course provides the knowledge, understanding and tips to build staff resilience, at an individual level, at the team level, and also at an organisational level.
