Forsyth University

Adversity and setbacks are part of any successful person’s path. But how can we muster the strength to persevere when times are most trying? This presentation will highlight the latest psychological research on the topic. We will discuss resilience as a life skill, misconceptions about self-esteem, and practical strategies both for persevering and for taking care of our mental health during the difficult times.

Forsyth parents, caregivers, teachers, staff, and trustees are invited to The Psychology of Mindset & Resilience with Dr. Tim Bono on Thursday, September 25, 6:30–8:00pm in The Rand Center at Forsyth. Please RSVP by Monday, September 22. Attendees should park in the Main Lot and enter campus through Dunbar House. Adults only, please; childcare is available (see below).

Contact the Division Directors with any questions.

Dr. Tim Bono is a faculty member in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at WashU, where his teaching and research focus on positive psychology and college student development. Over the last decade, thousands of students have taken his courses on the Psychology of Young Adulthood and the Science of Happiness. He summarizes the research from those courses, along with how his students have put that information into practice in their own lives, in his book, Happiness 101: Simple Secrets to Smart Living & Well-Being (formerly published as When Likes Aren’t Enough).

Led by the academic team, Forsyth University is an initiative that provides learning opportunities for Forsyth’s adult community.
