Thriving From Stress: Building Resilience & Wellness
A FREE Evidence-Based Training Rooted in Local Community Conversations
This training is a valuable addition to ASAP’s ongoing efforts to prevent substance misuse and promote overall wellness in the community.
As a pivotal component of our #RethinkingWellness initiative, we have engaged Dr. Joel Bennett, President of Organizational Wellness & Learning Systems (OWLS), to train 6 people from our community using his evidence-based, nationally-recognized curriculum. Dr. Bennett has adapted his curriculum based on insights gathered from local community conversations, ensuring its relevance and effectiveness in addressing stress.

Words about Dr. Bennett’s work
“His presentation was so authentic and real...Dr. Bennett amazes me with his research on stressors! How they affect our everyday lives and give an invaluable toolbox to be proactive. Being a person that suffered severe panic and anxiety disorder for the greater part of my life, wishing I could overcome the disease and in the beginning stages no help in sight. Yet, through the power of resilience, I too was fortunate to overcome many hurdles, and if only I had discovered such a powerful book to be proactive and even more resilient, I might have been more fortunate to achieve higher health, emotionally and physically. ”
“Dr. Bennett takes a positive stance around the complex topics of stress and resilience and demonstrates how to reframe stress and ultimately thrive through life’s challenges and stressors.”
“Finally, practical and powerful tools...The stories of overcoming adversity are inspiring and motivating, and by using Dr. Bennett’s tools he helps us realize we have the same potential within us if we will just put in a little time, effort and soul searching.”
