Ever found navigating change to be difficult? Had struggles maintaining confidence or focus? Need some help communicating around problems and successes? You’re not alone!<\/p>\n
At Montclair State University, students can get trained in valuable skills for overcoming thinking traps that threaten their well-being and their ability to perform. They can also learn to communicate better and improve their relationships. These skills can boost your physical health and enhance your level of optimism and connection with others.<\/p>\n
In the Fall of 2025, 24 faculty and staff<\/a> at Montclair State University were trained by experts from the University of Pennsylvania to become Trainers of our students in these skills. Now they are bringing what they learned to students in classes, trainings, seminars, and workshops!<\/p>\n Want to get trained? Visit our Events and Trainings page!<\/a> Or for students, faculty and staff that are connected to groups like a student organization, a team of athletes, or a class, reach out to request a training! We can train your group in one or more 90-minute sessions.<\/p>\n Contact a member of the steering committee to learn more!<\/p>\n Elenice DeSouza Oliveira<\/a>,\u00a0Christopher Donoghue<\/a>, Jordanna Maziarz<\/a>, Jason Williams<\/a> and Melissa Zarin<\/a><\/p>\n The Penn Resilience Program was made possible by a generous gift from Ori and Mirit Eisen (’96) in 2025.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ever found navigating change to be difficult?
