3 Things to Know: Resilience [hogg.utexas.edu]

 

This is the fourth post in our “3 Things to Know” series, an explanation of concepts influencing community mental health and our grantmaking. Check out others in this series on Health Equity,Social Determinants of (Mental) Health, and Well-being.

Resilience is critical to health and mental health interventions. So critical that major public health institutions have developed frameworks to provide clarity about its definition and its role as a key determinant for a person’s, and a community’s, ability to thrive.

For example, the Road to Resilience brochure published by the American Psychological Association (APA)defines resilience as:

“…the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress — such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems or workplace and financial stressors.”
