Building Resilience

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from stress, adversity, failures, challenges, and trauma. Resilience can be built and changed over time. Connection to others, self-confidence, and the ability to communicate well, commit to goals, and have some control in one's life all, contribute to resilience.
