Santa Barbara Foundation Behavioral Health and Resilience Educational Series Presents:
Self-Care Skills for Behavioral Health and Integral Resilience
A New Collaborative Paradigm for Healthcare Providers, Compounding Pharmacists, Patients, Social Care Providers, and the General Public
What is Integral Resilience?
Integral Resilience is a new frontier of scientific inquiry that is exploring how systems can turn stress and adversity to advantage. Scientific studies confirm that every major health challenge involves an impairment of resilience, which suggests the converse proposition: an increase in resilience may support healing of these conditions. This frontier educational program introduces Integral Resilience as a core life competency and essential self-management skill for meeting the behavioral challenges underlying all these conditions. It integrates science-based practices of mindfulness, emotional intelligence, positive psychology and other disciplines, as well as Easter martial arts, wisdom, and healing traditions.
Behavioral Health Applications
Integral Resilience provides a foundation to support all the positive behavioral changes recommended by physicians and other medical care providers, including:
- Pain management
- Bioidentical hormone replacement
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Loneliness and Depression
- Burnout
- Early detection and prevention of Alzheimer’s (blog post)
Resilience Multiplier Effect
Since many of the above conditions are closely linked and display co-morbidity, there is a significant risk of a cascading Negative Multiplier Effect—one unresolved health challenge compounds and potentiates the next. By fortifying Integral Resilience, we create the possibility of the reverse: a Positive Resilience Multiplier, where the benefits of building Integral Resilience in one domain are rapidly transferred to another.
