Doing so became of even greater urgency and importance as we faced the unprecedented, unpredictable mental health and other challenges brought about by the pandemic.

In this symposium, Dr. Robert Brooks will describe interventions rooted in a strength-based framework for nurturing a “resilient mindset,” including the attributes of self-dignity, responsibility, compassion, and hope for both patients and professionals. These interventions can be applied with individuals of all ages in a variety of settings including outpatient therapy, schools, homes, inpatient and residential programs, and the workplace. Many case examples will be used.
