Module Three provides students with three additional resilience skills: Problem Solving, Put It In Perspective and Real-Time Resilience. Problem Solving is a tool specifically designed for complex, interpersonal, recurrent problems. It builds Mental Agility and helps overcome the confirmation bias. Put It In Perspective (PIIP) builds Optimism, stops catastrophizing and reduces anxiety. Real-Time Resilience also builds Optimism and is used to deal with counterproductive thinking in time-critical situations. Jennifer Eichner 772-2848
