Hello Antonella

Did you know that resilience can be learned? Although we can't control what happens in our lives, we can build skills to help us deal effectively with challenges, recover more quickly and even grow as a result.
Our Jump Back Up July (https://www.actionforhappiness.org/jump-back-up-july)  calendar is full of ideas to help you build your toolkit of resilient behaviours. Please share it with others too!

You can also use our app (https://www.actionforhappiness.org/app) to receive the daily calendar actions and join a supportive community putting these into practice.

We're delighted that the evaluation of our 'Exploring What Matters' course has been published in a peer-reviewed academic journal. The results show that it boosts wellbeing and compassion, while also reducing levels of depression and anxiety.
