What is Resilience?

 

Resilience is "the ability to withstand and rebound from disruptive life challenges" (Walsh, 2003, p. 1).  These challenges can present in a variety of life's issues. In research with adult survivors of child abuse, Dr. Gegenheimer discovered the inner-strengths used by those individuals who have successfully reinvented themselves. The ability to move beyond negative events and bounce forward to a higher level of functioning is something every person should experience.

The work of resilience includes an individualized plan to recognize your internal strengths, skill building, and encouragement.

Come celebrate your unfolding!
