Building Personal Resilience Program
Flight Safety Foundation presents the Building Personal Resilience Program as a proactive initiative for member organizations to provide individuals and teams with industry-specific and evidence-based skills and strategies to help manage their mental health more effectively.
The program, developed by psychologists at The Keil Centre, is grounded in strategies founded in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as coaching and high-performance psychology. The program is not intended for those experiencing mental health issues which would instead benefit from therapeutic interventions provided by a member organizations’ employee assistance programs.
