b"As the COVID-19 pandemic wreaks havoc on our lives, the good news is that resilience is possible, but it requires more than just a positive mindset. Building on his research from around the world and clinical work with populations that have experienced the stress of social isolation, poverty, stigma and violence, the speaker will share stories and strategies we can use to not only survive but thrive during this pandemic. \\n\\nFrom overcoming the hassle of working from home and providing childcare, to preventing anxiety, the speaker will discuss ways we can make ourselves more psychologically rugged and build our social supports. This presentation will explore how this crisis can be an opportunity for us to have a forthright conversation about how we can make our families, schools, communities, and workplaces better despite the financial stress and grief that has become our new normal. \\n\\nSpeaker: Dr. Michael Ungar, Director Resilience Research Centre, Dalhousie University\\n\\nDr. Ungar is a Family Therapist and Professor of Social Work at Dalhousie University where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Child, Family and Community Resilience, and is Scientific Director, Child and Youth Refugee Research Coalition. \\n\\nOver the past 20 years, Dr. Ungar has done hundreds of interviews for radio, television, podcasts, magazines and newspapers and delivered over 500 keynote addresses all around the world on the topic of resilience.

Improving our personal circumstances becomes less about changing ourselves and more about joining forces with other people to make things better for all of us\\u201d\\nAnn Douglas\\nAuthor, Happy Parents, Happy Kids \\n\\t\\n\\u201cFinally, a book explaining why fixing ourselves with self-help solutions may not be the only, or even the main ingredient, of the secret sauce of life success. Dr. Ungar's real-life stories from his research on resilience, with examples from all across the globe, offer fresh new recipes\\u2014and provide a fun and compelling as well as educative read.\\u201d\\n\\tSusan Heitler, PhD, \\n\\tAuthor, Prescriptions Without Pills: For Relief From Depression, Anger, Anxiety and More\\n\\t \\nFor More Information\\n\\nTo learn more about Dr. Ungar\\u2019s Research study of Youth in Drayton Valley, AB & Secunda, South Africa,\\n\\u201cResilient Youth in Stressed Environments (RYSE) go t"
