Psychological immunity is the force that allows individuals overcome challenges and obstacles to achieve success. It contributes to refining the person’s thinking and guide him/her to the optimal and positive way of handling daily life stress and tensions; set realistic goals; work hard to achieve these goals; think positively and implement these positive thoughts to get rid of his/her anxiety, solve his/her problems and live his/her life with a positive and optimistic spirit. There is a strong connection between the individual’s thinking and the level of enduring difficulties and challenges, and will achieve his/her goals. Psychological immunity influences the individual’s beliefs about his/her abilities, resilience in the face of challenges and searching for ways to make things and situations better. Additionally, a person with strong psychological immunity learns and benefits from hard experiences even in the case of failure, he/she does not consider failure a dead end. Therefore, this awareness workshop aimed at shedding light on psychological immunity in terms of definition, relevance, and attributes of persons with high psychological immunity, institutions responsible for developing psychological immunity, as well as some advice, guidelines, and strategies that can be used in enhancing psychological immunity.
