This session will explore aspects of the Stress Management and Resiliency Training or SMART model, which is an innovative, modern, and uplifting approach to enhance individual resilience. SMART, developed by Dr. Amit Sood at Mayo Clinic, offers a way to practice self-preservation by engaging the brain’s focused mode-not only to experience more uplifting emotions, but also develop better focus, enhance creativity and productivity, improve engagement, deepen relationships, and find greater purpose in life. In this experiential session, participants will learn several key components of the SMART model and practice some of the skills.
