FOSTERING ‘RESPONSE -ABILITY’ AS FEATURED IN THE NATIONAL ACADEMY FOR SOCIAL PRESCRIBING IDEAS HUB.
Maintaining Resilience and Wellbeing in the face of a public health crisis: Fostering ‘Response-ability’ by remembering that we are capable of choosing our response to challenging situations. This is based on Epictetus’ understanding that ‘People are disturbed not by things but by the view they take of them.’ Hence, the key to emotional intelligence and wellbeing is not to avoid challenging situations; but rather to choose an effective attitude towards them.
