Resilience is the goal of many clients who desire to thrive amid the circumstances and challenges that keep them stuck; however, psychologists, licensed mental health and medical professionals, and ministry leaders do not often think about their own resilience. The pandemic showed two vulnerabilities in the human services industry—mental health and medical professionals are susceptible to burnout and are essential for the world to continue operating at any level. This presentation will introduce and demonstrate various simple, unsuspecting, innate, invisible, and powerful tools, of which, from a Christian perspective, God has equipped every human to help people be healthy and stay resilient. In this workshop, the presenter will teach whole-person tools that are highly effective in jumpstarting hope and resilience when utilized appropriately, triggering the release of healing hormones and neurotransmitters, and promoting physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual health. This presentation is designed to help human service professionals and ministry leaders stay resilient and effective in their current roles.
