Overview: Resiliency is a person’s ability to “bounce back” after stressful life events. Research has proven there are several factors that improve an individual’s resiliency.

Objectives:
  • Learn definitions of resiliency as it relates to individuals with mental health disorders
  • Define internal versus external risk factors in resiliency in mental health
  • Define internal versus external protective factors in mental health
  • Explore concept of an individual’s demands versus resources in meeting life’s challenges
