Brief Program Description
There is a SPARK within every human being, regardless of their circumstances, that cannot be damaged (yes even after 2020). This SPARK is the birthplace of resilience, well-being, commonsense, intelligence, solutions, creativity and innovation. This presentation will explore how, through a simple understanding of the mind, innate resilience is uncovered and the stress resistance needed to overcome trauma is naturally formed.
