SUMMARY: Cultivating mental and emotional health and wellbeing is crucial to not only living a long and healthy life, but elevating quality of life. In this presentation you will learn how mental health and wellbeing is being redefined, and how it can be cultivated using an ecosystem of factors that work together to foster emotional balance and psychological thriving. We will also discuss practices and tools for supporting post-traumatic growth, and how positive stress can be used to build resilience.
