The training is particularly relevant for frontline workers, helping professionals, public-facing employees, and teams who regularly manage stress, difficult interactions, or emotionally demanding situations.

Participants gain practical knowledge and tools to better understand stress, respond effectively to challenging situations, and support both themselves and their colleagues.
Building Resilience at Work
Workplace resilience is not simply about asking employees to cope better with stress. Healthy organizations also consider the workplace conditions, relationships, communication, and supports that influence employee wellbeing.
Throughout the training, participants explore both individual and workplace strategies that can strengthen resilience. This includes recognizing stress early, developing practical coping and recovery strategies, supporting colleagues, communicating effectively during difficult situations, and identifying workplace practices that contribute to healthier and more sustainable teams.
Participants Will Learn How To:
- Understand resilience and the factors that can strengthen or challenge it
- Recognize different stages of stress and how prolonged stress can affect wellbeing and performance
- Identify signs of stress or distress in themselves and others
- Recognize personal and workplace factors that can contribute to cumulative stress
- Prepare proactively for demanding or emotionally challenging situations
- Use practical strategies to regulate stress and maintain wellbeing
- Communicate effectively with colleagues who may be struggling
- Respond appropriately to clients, members, or citizens experiencing distress
- Develop personal strategies that support resilience, recovery, and sustainable wellbeing
