Building Resilience as a Health & Care Researcher
June 14
In our ongoing commitment to support early career researchers and beyond, we are thrilled to announce a series of full-day workshops covering a wide range of topics. We encourage you to register for the workshops that align with your current research stage. Simply click the links below and secure your spot today.
Please note that all workshops will take place in-person in Manchester City Centre; online participation is not available. These workshops are free of charge, but spaces are limited, and a waitlist will be maintained. We welcome participants from across the board, and you need not be limited to the North West to join us. Your academic journey begins here!
– staying connected to the heart of your research life
- Reconnect with what resources your resilience and well-being
- Be clear on your direction, know how to prioritise and set meaningful goals
- Explore what knocks you off balance and how to regain it
- Learn to manage self-limiting beliefs and build confidence
- Learn from the collective wisdom of the group
The challenges of research can make it hard to sustain a sense of personal resilience and well-being whatever the setting you find yourself in. Research life can be unpredictable, precarious and challenging, it can feel chaotic and throw up a whole barrage of challenges. It’s unusual to feel overwhelmed, insecure confused and generally out of balance! The list could go on. It can be easy to lose yourself, your sense of direction and well-being.
Unique to this workshop, you are NOT going to be told what resilience is, and what you SHOULD do to build it. Resilience comes in many shapes and forms, generally pointing to the ability to recover from setbacks, to adapt to changing circumstance and keep going in the face of adversity. However, the workshop is designed to build on your experience and the collective wisdom of the group, to develop an understanding of what resilience means for you and how you can develop strategies to nourish and sustain it in relation to everyday research life.
This one-day, experiential and interactive coaching-based workshop will create an opportunity to re-engage with your own sense of personal resilience and well-being, and be challenged with how to bring that into your everyday life.
This workshop is aimed at health and care researcher academics who wish to develop their resilience.
