Document Summary
What keep people healthy and resilient and what increases the likelihood that we will become casualties. When we talk about mental health and mental illness, we talk about them largely in terms of what is there that destabilizes people and why, and what restores and protects people and how does it do that. Not about doing therapy with people, more on groups of people at risk in the communi- ty and what we can do to prevent that risk from becoming a full-blown disorder. Nip the problem in the butt resilience - regardless of the walls, we will struggle and cope in order to live as healthy as possible - pictures of the tree that grew through the wall. Emotional stability/regulation (*one of the primary goals of coping when you"re experi- encing stress is to manage your emotions so they don"t cripple you) Happiness/quality of life (research of older adults have the most positive affect of any age group)
