The concept of resilience has become a popular topic of discussion, learning, and
practice in recent years. The idea of “bouncing back” from traumatic events has
become imperative for first responders and others who provide caring services and
ministry during and after critical incidents. Included in the concept of resilience is the
ability to adapt to adversity, to cope in the face of distress, to be flexible in unusual
circumstances and even to see opportunity in challenges. In this course, learn how
spiritual resilience has transformational power – the ability to change you from being
negative, hopeless, resentful, depressed, mistrustful, and feeling insignificant.
Healthcare providers who practice habits of the heart strengthen their spiritual
resilience in the face of adversity.
