Be resilient: s-t-r-e-t-c-h, bounce back & roll forward! Keys to Resilience: Transformation through Adversity
Resilience is a common word and many of us have a sense that being resilient is a good thing. But what does resilience really mean? And how can being resilient benefit families and individuals, especially when faced with challenges in life? Resilience can be defined as the capacity to rebound from adversity stronger and more resourceful. It’s important not to equate resilience with competent functioning. Resilience is more than just “getting through” or coping with a challenging situation. Resilience involves positive transformation and growth that enables one to deal effectively with challenges.
