In 2021, the BCEEA hosted a workshop series, An Inside Job – Practicing Resilience in the Midst of Change, developed by Heather Lehman and Associates.
This workshop series is designed to support people in actively building resilience for themselves and their teams, particularly in the midst of change and unanticipated challenges. This workshop series focuses on understanding how our brains function under stress and using knowledge about the brain to be more resilient even in the midst of change. Delivered virtually in eight 60-minute interactive learning modules, this series brings the latest neuroscience knowledge to life in a practical way. In this workshop, participants learn:
- How our brains and bodies naturally respond to the strain of rapid, intense, unpredictable events.
- Why people may have negative reactions to situations or interactions.
- How our automatic response can negatively amplify that stress.
- Strategies that can be used at work and home to reduce and, in part, neutralize the impact of that stress.
- Neuroscience-based practices for becoming more resilient even during stressful change.
A summary of key learnings from this series is included in the BCEEA MyInfo Sheet.
