Resilience for Good Mental Wellbeing

This is the first in a series of wellness webinars being hosted by the BII.

Resilience is fundamental to good mental health and well-being, and success in business/work and life. Resilience is something that can be developed to improve mental wellbeing and as a protective factor against mental ill health. This session will explore how we can all develop resilience in ourselves and in our teams. This will include practical advice and tools to help you to build your own resilience and to use with your team, including how to set appropriate boundaries.
