Family Resilience & Family Research
Families have found to be the bedrock of support and offer resilience for individuals experiencing hard times related to health and mental health problems, trauma, or injustices. Families also have aspects that help them operate with optimal functioning to be strong and resilient (protective and promotive factors) and aspects that make them function less optimally (risk factors). Here are some publications that provide more information on the importance of families for resilience, transcendence, wellness, and overcoming adversity.
