Building emotional resilience in families
Resilience is the ability to cope, and even thrive when things get tough.
Studies of people who lead happy, successful lives despite adverse circumstances show that they have certain skills and resources that make up resilience. By intentionally growing these skills, we can set ourselves up for coping with challenges and difficulties that inevitably come our way, find peace and connection even in the darkest days, and become stronger and wiser from these experiences.
In my work as a researcher, educator and parent, I focus on the following building blocks for inner resilience and sustainable well-being.
