What is Resilience?
Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress — such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems or workplace and financial stressors. It means "bouncing back" from difficult experiences.
In the last two editions of the Online Stress Summit Danielle and Tom spoke to many experts on the topic of stress and resilience addressed from the perspective of the topics "Does Hi-Tech cause Hi-Stress" and "Speak Up and Speak Out about Stress"
During this years Stress Awareness Week, all of these interviews can be accessed for free.
