Child Abuse Prevention Month: Building resilience in our children and ourselves
Submitted by paula on Mon, 04/15/2019 - 3:03pm
The good news is it can be learned!
Building resilience — the ability to adapt well to adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats and/or significant sources of stress — can help us and our children manage stress, uncertainty, and feelings of anxiety. However, being resilient does not mean that we won't experience difficulty or distress. Emotional pain and sadness are common when we have suffered major trauma or personal loss, or even when we hear of someone else's trauma.
