\nDESCRIPTION: This five-module webinar series on resilience is meant as a resource for those going through rough times and those providing support through rough times. The first module proposes more immediate strategies to regain a relative balance when adversity strikes. The following modules address resilience as a form of training over the longer term, and explore topics such as the physical and psychological prerequisites to resilience, emotional regulation, intentional activities and the impacts of compassion on well-being. The ultimate goal is to offer tools which, once embedded in daily life, allow us to better cope with the hardship inherent to life (Rachel Thibeault – Presenter).<\/strong>

ClinicalTrials<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/p>\nClinicalTrials.gov<\/a> gov is a free resource provided by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. It is a web-based data entry system allowing the registration of clinical trials.<\/p>\n
For researchers, it permits searching the database to stay up to date on developments in their field, to find collaborators, and identify unmet needs. Increasingly, scientific journals will only accept to publish clinical trials that have been registered before initiation of participant recruitment.<\/p>\n
For patients and families, it provides current information about clinical research studies.<\/p>\n
Information for CRIR researchers:<\/strong>
\nOrganizations (universities, research centres) register and then generate the accounts for their researchers.
\nCRIR now has an administrator account.

\nDESCRIPTION: This five-module webinar series on resilience is meant as a resource for those going through rough times and those providing support through rough times. The first module proposes more immediate strategies to regain a relative balance when adversity strikes. The following modules address resilience as a form of training over the longer term, and explore topics such as the physical and psychological prerequisites to resilience, emotional regulation, intentional activities and the impacts of compassion on well-being. The ultimate goal is to offer tools which, once embedded in daily life, allow us to better cope with the hardship inherent to life (Rachel Thibeault – Presenter).<\/strong>
