Jocassee Lake Tours Collaboration

Ecology of Resilience Short Course Content

The course is organized into six sessions covering information, exercises, reflections, and strategies. Topics include stress, adversity, burnout, self-efficacy, helpful practices, the therapeutic benefits of nature, and the value of community.

• Stress is universal – you can’t avoid it or eliminate it

• However, you can learn to manage stress and bounce back from it – you can become more resilient

• Spending time in natural environments is therapeutic and helps cultivate resilience

Nature4Stress is an abbreviated six-part version of an evidence-based academic course introducing the nature-based Ecology of Resilience framework described in detail here. It can be delivered virtually or in-person for individuals or groups of any size.
