A Journey of Emotional Resilience

2:58

What Is Emotional Resilience?

To become like the Savior, everyone will need to face challenges and hardships during this life. Dealing with life’s challenges successfully requires faith in Jesus Christ and emotional resilience. Emotional resilience is: ​

  • The ability to adapt to emotional challenges with courage and faith centered in Jesus Christ. ​
  • Helping yourself and others be the best you can. ​
  • Reaching out for additional help when needed.​

We’d love to work with you and help you strengthen your emotional resilience by joining one of our virtual groups. ​

How Does the Group Work?

Emotional Resilience groups work together to follow Finding Strength in the Lord: Emotional Resilience course materials. Instead of relying on a teacher or expert, each group will have a volunteer facilitator to help foster a culture of openness and collaboration. Meetings take place online once a week for 10 weeks, and each meeting lasts 90 to 120 minutes. Participation is free, and all course materials are provided.

Your ability to connect with each other will help you feel the Holy Spirit and become more emotionally resilient. Together, you will help each other:

  • Build emotional resilience.
  • Manage stress and anxiety.
  • Understand sadness and depression.
  • Overcome anger.
  • Manage addictive behaviors.
  • Build healthy relationships.
  • Provide strength to others.
  • Move forward with faith.
