What does it mean not just to survive adversity, but to grow through it — and help our clients do the same?
In this workshop, Malcolm Stern invites us to explore the heart of resilience: how we adapt, recover, and transform in the face of challenge. Drawing on therapeutic experience and practical insight, we will look at the tools that support both personal well-being and professional effectiveness, helping us stay grounded, connected, and resourceful in difficult times.
We’ll consider how to recognise signs of depletion in ourselves and our clients, how to cultivate inner strength and adaptability, and how to create conditions where resilience becomes more than coping — it becomes a pathway to thriving.
Whether you’re seeking ways to replenish your own reserves or offer more robust support to others, this workshop offers a compassionate and practical space to reconnect with hope, clarity, and direction.
