Resiliency Resiliency is the ability for a family/youth to bounce back from stress or adversity. For families, resiliency is the ability of a family to develop and/or maintain healthy functioning and successfully adapt to life's challenges and risks. For individuals, resiliency is the ability of individuals to do well despite facing adversity in their lives. Resiliency is very important but it is not enough. Ultimately, we want more for our families and youth than survival we want them to thrive, that is, to flourish in society. We want families to be loving, caring, and compassionate toward one another and their neighbors. They need opportunities to be successful and be civic-minded. We want youth to experience positive relationships with peers and adults that foster their positive development. In addition, we want youth to have opportunities for development of skills and competencies thereby increasing their likelihood of success. |
