The Secrests of Psychological Body Armor

This course is designed to aid in building a personal culture of resilience and holistic health. This unique approach is intended to help learners better manage the stress in life in order to increase their potential for happiness, success, and even a competitive advantage through the creation of what we call Psychological Body Armor ™. There is no “quick fix” in this program. It is not designed to be a “pop psych” feel-good course. Rather, this course contains facts and suggestions to consider for actions so that participants can enhance their personal resilience, all based upon science and research. 

Participants will be able to:

• Describe the nature of Psychological Body Armor ™ (PBA)
• Recognize resilient attitudes
• Use physical exercise to strengthen PBA
• Use nutrition to fuel PBA
• Use rest to recharge and restore PBA
• Use interpersonal support
• Understand how spirituality relates to PBA
• Develop a PBA plan
