Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 What Is Resilience? Resilience is the power to cope with adversity and adapt to challenges or change. It is a process of drawing on beliefs, behaviors, skills, and attitudes to move beyond stress, trauma, or tragedy. Although naturally stronger in some personalities, it can also be learned. Resilient people have a range of strengths such as optimism, self-knowledge, personal meaning , and the ability to foster relationships and care for themselves and others. By mobilizing these powers, they confront life's obstacles and emerge with greater wisdom, flexibility, and strength. There are some great fact sheets available here: http://www.ncvc.org/ncvc/main.aspx?dbID=DB_FactSheets135 Please share with others. This project was started after 911 and the resources are very powerful and can be of great assist to many folks, especially as we as a nation face some difficult times and will need to rely on each other more.
