Hi Team,
We wanted to check in on you and make sure you are doing ok; things are tough and we are thinking about you all.
Resilience is knowing how to cope despite setbacks or barriers and is the ability to overcome obstacles with emotional strength. Our individual level of resilience is determined by our personality traits and environmental factors. The current rain and flooding can test all our personal resilience.
Remember, it’s ok not to be ok, and it’s ok to ask for help, and here at Whiddon, Hapstar is standing by to help you!

Otherwise, you can call 1800 818 728 for EAP support.
It is important you can recognise the signs and symptoms that indicate that your resilience is not letting you bounce back from a confronting situation and engage support through self-care, early intervention or asking for help early.
Below is a great chart to check on your own resilience:
