UTOPIA Project: Transforming Lives Through Resilience Education

A resilient individual possesses the psychological and biological strengths necessary to master change successfully and bounce back when the going gets tough.  Opportunity-driven rather than danger-driver, resilient individuals respond to stress in ways that help them not only recover, but also grow and thrive. 

The online resilience program, prepared by Dr. Steinhardt, is hosted on the University of Texas at Austin UTOPIA website and consists of four mini-lectures, or modules. Each of the four modules is presented in audio form, accompanied by Flash animation and short interactive quizzes to promote learning. At the end of each session, participants can print a PDF file that includes a short assignment, reading materials that summarize the module, and a list of suggested books to read.

 

 

A long, healthy, and happy life is the result of making contributions, of having meaningful projects that are personally exciting and contribute to and bless the lives of others.
