Workshop on Building Mental Resilience Among Rehabilitation Service Recipients
Rehabilitative relationships serve as an excellent platform for strengthening the psychological resilience of service recipients, with the aim of enhancing the process of personal recovery. In this workshop, we will draw connections between concepts from the fields of recovery and rehabilitation and those from the field of psychological resilience, in light of contemporary theory—positive psychology. The workshop will emphasize the integration of theoretical knowledge and evidence-based interventions through experiential and workshop-based methods. Additionally, the workshop will incorporate content that facilitates a deeper understanding of the rehabilitative relationship, drawing from mindfulness, learning from success, experiential knowledge, and the motivational approach.
