Document Summary
Should understand problem from a current point of view rather than from a historical. The ability to find the inner strength to bounce back from a set-back or challenge. **resilience is very ordinary, not extraordinary- it is common, everyone can have it. Resilience is not a trait, it is learned (we should take this into consideration when developing programs) 2 components: 1) ability to respond positively to an adverse situation, 2) emerge from situation improved feeling strengthened, more resourceful, and more confident. Can conceptualize it on both an individual and family level. Not a one size fits all to building resilience. Personality traits and individual coping styles: innate abilities of the person. Family traits and coping styles: solutions emerge out of individuals, families and larger social systems. Length of time of the adverse situation. Internal or external sources of support used by family: greater resilience in families who reach out to others.
