Registration Page for Upcoming December 2020 Resilience-to-Thriving Training

 

This 4.5 hour online course facilitated by Dr. Joel Bennett is for those who wish to train, teach or coach others on their journey of resilience and well-being. The Resilience-to-Thriving training is the most popular module of the evidence-based Team Awareness training, known for preventing adult worker substance misuse while also improving well-being and healthy work culture (see below).

Professionals in wellness, human resources, employee assistance, education, prevention specialists, and those working in public health, military, and many other professions have enjoyed taking this course. Some use the material to teach modules in stress, resilience, and thriving, while others use them in their personal coaching practices. As part of registration, you will receive Dr. Bennett’s book, Raw Coping Power.  This is a special reduced rate for prevention specialists and other health affiliates in the State of New York of $469.

Recently, the "Team Awareness" program was identified as an evidence-based practice (EBP) by the State of New York's Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS). Team Awareness is associated with a family of related EBP programs as described in this video.

*Team Awareness is a  customizable worksite prevention training program that addresses behavioral risks associated with substance abuse among employees, their coworkers, and, indirectly, their families. The training seeks to promote social health and increased communication between workers; improve knowledge about and attitudes toward alcohol- and drug-related protective factors in the workplace, such as company policy and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs); and increase peer referral behaviors. The training focuses on 6 components: the importance of substance abuse prevention; team ownership of policy (embracing policy as a useful tool for enhancing safety and wellbeing for the whole workgroup); stress, including stressors, individual coping styles, and other methods for coping; tolerance and how it can become a risk factor for groups; the importance of appropriate help seeking and help-giving behavior; and access to resources for preventive counseling or treatment. Training is highly interactive and includes group discussions, videos, role-playing, quizzes, games, communication exercises, and optional homework assignments.
