BUILDING RESILIENCE


What is Resilience?

“Resilience is the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through ​mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands."

  ​(APA Dictionary of Psychology)​


Information To Keep in Mind

There are three factors that contribute to how well people adapt to adversities:

  • The ways in which individuals view and engage with the world

  • The availability and quality of social resources

  • Specific coping strategies     

On another note, psychological research demonstrates that the resources and skills associated with more positive adaptation (i.e., greater resilience) can be cultivated and practiced.   ​(APA Dictionary of Psychology)​
