Abstract
Resilience (or resiliency) is the ability to manage and learn from difficulties and to bounce back after adversity. Resilient people have personal strengths, skills and abilities which help to buffer them against stress. Resilience skills can be learned from a young age, and are important keys to positive mental health. What are the protective factors that promote resilience? Who is at risk of not bouncing back and what coping skills can people learn in order to deal effectively with the ups and downs that everyone experiences to varying degrees in their life? This book is a helpful tool in advancing mental health and wellbeing, with a particular focus on understanding and promoting resilience in children and young people.
