What if everything you thought you knew about resilience needed a rethink?
We recently hosted *Powering Your Resilience Quotient* with Safe Space therapist Nandini, and what stood out was how differently she approached the subject.
From exploring the science behind ice baths and our stress response to challenging the advice we often give older adults experiencing anxiety or depression, Nandi made resilience practical, relatable and thought-provoking.
One insight that stayed with us after a 90 mins workshop?
Sometimes, what people need isn't more rest. It's something meaningful to look forward to.
Instead of simply talking at participants, she brought them into real-world scenarios, role-play and conversations that challenged their assumptions.
This is the direction I believe workplace mental health education needs to move towards.
1. Less passive listening. More participation.
2. Less generic advice. More context.
3. Less telling people to be resilient. More helping them understand how resilience actually works.
We explored all three at our Powering Your Resilience Quotient workshop with Cambridge Cares and we can bring this to your workplace too.
A big thank you to Nandini for bringing this refreshing perspective to our Safe Space training.
