Cafe Scientifique - from stress to strength

Thursday 23 February 6pm - 7.30pm

From stress to strength – the science of resilience. Do you want to boost your resilience so you “bounce back” even when life is hectic and the demands on you are high?

Find out what some of the recent scientific research has discovered about resilience, and which tools and strategies are most effective for helping us recover and thrive under pressure. This presentation will be interactive; come along ready to try out some tools and exercises.

Speaker Gaynor Parkin is a registered clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with individuals, groups and workplace teams. She is the founding director of Umbrella Health and Resilience and also works as a Clinical Practice Advisor for the Psychology Department at Victoria University. Gaynor is passionate about the topic of resilience; and tests out the robustness of resilience tools when juggling work with the joys and challenges of parenting twin boys.

Gaynor is co-author of the book “I’ve had it up to here: from stress to strength”, published by Consumer New Zealand.
