COLAP Presents: Stress Hardiness in Uncertain Times

Please join us for the Criminal CLE COLAP Presents: Stress Hardiness in Uncertain Times, presented by Amy Kingery, Education & Outreach Manager with COLAP. This presentation offers 1 Ethics credit.

Stress isn’t all bad. On a day-to-day basis, it motivates us to get our to-do list accomplished and, in extreme cases, it can save our lives. However, when we become overwhelmed, our stress response isn’t working for us; it’s working against us, causing many negative side effects that can compromise our health, our relationships, and even our work. Unforeseen periods of extreme change in our work and personal lives, coupled with often simultaneous feelings of isolation and feeling trapped with those you may be isolating with can have a similar impact. Luckily, years of research in practice has also given the field strategies for how to build up our resiliency to work and life stressors, survive and thrive in the wake of extreme stress environments.
