SESSION OVERVIEW
Benefit Finding
What is your story? What have you learned from times of adversity. Did any of those lessons lead to a sense of purpose? Benefit finding is a great way to think about adversity faced and the lessons learned from times of hardship. What were those losses and what were the gains?
Benefit finding will be explained to the group and participants will get the chance to engage in their own benefit finding experiential and explore lessons learned and if any of the lessons learned led to a sense of purpose.
