Maria is a psychologist and certified neuropsychotherapist with over 30 years experience in education, clinical and industry platforms.  Sheiscurrently a consultant to the Resilience First Aid certification program, supported by our club.

In her presentation, Maria explained the research and practice underlying Resilience Training:

• Anxiety and Depression are now the major health challenges to our overall well-being 

• In the past these conditions were often left untreated until the symptoms had become chronic 

• It is much more effective to treat these problems when the symptoms are low or even before they occur – we need to learn about mental resilience before we need it

• Resilience in this context means advancing – ‘stepping forward’, away from what is not working

• The way forward is to ‘reset’ the mind by assessing wellness, not illness and building resources to support and conserve good mind health
