Lesson One - Resiliency and Community Resources
Resiliency
Resiliency is a fascinating aspect of human nature. People can be faced with incredible challenges and still persevere because of their resiliency. What exactly is resiliency and how do people have different levels of it?
Resilience is defined by the American Psychological Association as:
“The process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress. Resilience involves behaviours, thoughts, and actions that anyone can learn and develop.”
Resiliency often is referred to as being able to “bounce back” from something, but it also involves any personal growth and being able to look within to find internal strength.
