- Brain Health and Wellness Learning Series - Bolstering Resilience
The ability to overcome long-term adversity while maintaining personal well-being requires a holistic approach—one that is best cultivated through both mental and physical habits. In addition to maintaining strong community ties and developing key mindsets, there are several supporting factors proven to bolster resilience among military service members. This mini-course series on resilience, sponsored by Wounded Warrior Project, spotlights five of these supporting factors: SMART goals, mental health, nutrition, sleep, and exercise. Each element builds upon a warrior’s foundation and increases the ability to successfully cope with high levels of stress and pressure. You’ll learn why these supporting pillars are so important to overall well-being, their application in daily life, and how it’s never too late to make a lasting change.
