Navigating Uncertainty Module

Navigating Uncertainty Module

Introduction

This year has been full of change. If anything, the only thing we could predict was that something unexpected was going to happen.  With the constant change and unpredictability, it is hard to plan, manage anxiety, or care for ourselves.  It is even harder to try to figure out how to recover.

Based on models of Radical Acceptance, this module will offer some ideas for “riding the wave” of uncertainty and give you some ideas for building your own resilience and recovery plan.
