In this context, you will consider how individuals and groups can manage distress and enhance resilience. Extreme environments considered include Antarctica, outer space, military operations, disaster sites, and cults. In this subject, you will examine how intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organisational factors influence the challenges posed by extreme environments.
