Mental Health: Developing
Grit and Resilience
with LeRoy "Lee" Gibson
Our Grit & Resiliency workshops are all about helping you tap into your inner strength, build resilience, and face life’s challenges with confidence. Each session dives into real-world topics like overcoming failure, managing stress, staying motivated, and pushing through discomfort. Through group discussions, interactive activities, and self-reflection, you’ll learn how to keep going even when things get tough. It's not just about bouncing back—it’s about bouncing forward with purpose. By the end of the summer, you will leave with a stronger mindset, practical tools, and a game plan for handling whatever life throws your way.
