Card Set - Nourish Your Resilience

What are your means of resilience? What activities do you turn to for your well-being in daily life and during small and large upheavals?

The set contains 75 cards, of which 68 present a coping method, a brief statement introducing this method, as well as three questions that focus on:

• The place of this method in one's life;
• The benefits, advantages or pleasures it provides;

In addition, 7 other cards ask a question related to the meaning given to one's life.
