What is resilience? • Resilience is a positive, adaptive response in the face of significant adversity (Harvard University, 2015) • The …capacity to face, overcome and ultimately be strengthened…by life’s adversities and challenges…A complex relationship of psychological inner strengths and environmental supports throughout a person’s life’ ( Masten, 2001 cited in McArdle & Ward, 2015) • Bounce-back-ability (CAWT, 2006)

How can we help build resilience? Sharing the experiences from grant holders: • Leonard Cheshire Disability • St Peter’s Immaculata Youth Centre • NI Cancer Fund for Children • NI Youth Forum (Case Study)

How can we help build resilience? • 1 stable & committed relationship with an adult • Help young people build a sense of mastery (self efficacy) or ability to overcome difficulties • Develop adaptive strategies to cope with difficulties • Help develop strong executive functions (e.g. skills for planning, organisation) & self regulation skills (manage emotions & behaviour) • Support faith or cultural traditions

How can we help build resilience? • Build on strengths/positives • Build optimism & hope • Social connections with peers & community • Meet basic needs • Develop physical health • Develop a sense of purpose

Facts that are often misunderstood • Resilience requires relationships, not individualism • Capabilities that underlie resilience can be strengthened at any age • Resilience in the face of some hardships does not guarantee resilience in the face of all issues (i.e. it can be situation specific)
