Being resilient is both a benefit and a drawback on mental health, particularly for women in STEM. Resilience can build perserverence and strength, but can also contribute to a mental health burden of being successful in difficult environments. More discussions need to take place on identifying supportive environments to reduce the pressure of resilience. This workshop outlines mental health strategies to find your support system using the "Resilient STEM Atom". The "Resilient STEM Atom" is a visualization tool to help you identify your values, your positive influencers, and your interactions as you move through the STEM field. This workshop is a self-reflection exercise to help identify your support system in graduate school and beyond.
