- It will help us understand our very human reactions.
- Give us some helpful and useful strategies to use to lower stress and to feel more in control of our lives again.
- We will be guided in understanding what might be happening for ourselves as well as our (adult and young adult) students who already may be experiencing disadvantage through cultural exclusivity, poverty, learning disabilities – other disabilities and general hardship.
- It will give us ideas about addressing these barriers / issues in a way that allows insight and offers options for action rather than being stuck in overwhelm.
