Getting Gritty, UTC’s resiliency program, is a six-week, non-credit course offered through Canvas with weekly live, group sessions. Through cognitive reframing, a mindful awareness of self, healthy coping skills, and identified supports, it is possible to overcome stress, trauma, and adversity. This does not mean the journey to overcome these barriers will be easy, but the tools learned in this course will assist in the healing process and get students closer to achieving their personal and professional goals.
Canvas materials should only take about a half hour to complete each week. The content includes videos, discussion posts, and journaling activities.
Students in the course will meet together once per week in the Center for Wellbeing (UC 350) for an hour to take a deeper dive into that week’s topic. Participation in at least four of the six groups is a mandatory component of the program.
All students will receive a certificate of completion for the course. This is a wonderful program to include on resumes and CVs to enhance leadership experience!
