Beyond Superhero – Sustaining Personal Resilience in Challenging Times


Join us for this reward-eligible webinar, which is part of the monthly series of emotional well-being webinars presented by FEAP and Hoos Well, UVA's award-winning employee well-being program.

Has your superhero well run dry?  After the cascading crises of the last several years, many of us feel the need to recalibrate.  But it is not so easy when we have habituated to crisis response patterns.  In this session, learn how to disrupt yourself and rebalance your approach for the next normal.

Learning Objectives and Outcomes

  • Recognize your human limitations
  • Understand how resilience really works
  • Learn how to manage effort and recover in the moment and over time
  • Adopt practical tools for personal resilience and growing resilience in your team
