  3. What is Resilience?!

  4. What does it mean to be resilient… *According to Santrock, “Resilience refers to adapting positively and achieving successful outcomes in the face of significant risks and adverse circumstances.”

  5. *Dr. C. S. “Buzz” Holling --Father of resilience --Professor of Ecological Sciences, University of Florida --”things that come out of the unknown that are inherently unpredictable” theory of resilience --1973 resilience of ecosystems paper substantial impact on other natural and social sciences How resilient thinking began…

  6. Controversy of Resilience… • An individual trait? • A dynamic developmental process? • An outcome? • All of these? • Found anywhere there is a change in equilibrium e.g. human behavior, ecosystems, molecular structure, biology, sociology, and of course psychology!

  7. Adolescent Resilience As the study of resilience trickled into these other sciences… • Norman Garmezy • Emmy Werner • Anne Masten • Sir Michael Rutter … resilience in adolescent behavior vs. emerging adulthood

  8. Resilience has been researched repeatedly!! • It is shown to have a similar impact on adolescents with few differences as they emerge into adulthood. • Fewer peer influences in adulthood • Present in adolescence  present in adulthood • Might not develop until adulthood • Both can overcome adverse childhoods by becoming resilient • Positive developmental course brought on by birth of a child or romantic relationship in adulthood

  9. Mari Drago • Negative Emotionality

  11. Disorder or Disease? • Degree to which individual handles stress – positively or negatively – Our Choice • Clark, Pittsburg Adolescent Alcohol Research Center, 2001 • ALTHOUGH, other studies have linked different psychological problems with specific types of negative emotions • Eisenburg& partners, Arizona State University, 2005

  16. Positive Psychology Is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.

  17. Concerns & Goals • Some of the goals of positive psychology are to build a science that supports: Families and schools that allow children to flourish. Workplaces that foster satisfaction and high productivity. Communities that encourage civic engagement. Therapists who identify and nurture their patients' strengths. • Positive Psychology has three central concerns: positive emotions, positive individual traits, and positive institutions.

  22. RESILIENCE Prevention & TreatmentTurning the frown upside downTammy Laub

  23. PREVENTION...What can we do? EDUCATE EDUCATEEDUCATE! Help the adolescent develop the right skills such as: Cognitive- Behavioral Skills: • Coping techniques: Such as identifying problems before escalation occurs. * • Cognitive skills can improve the brain’s ability to process information. Social Problem-Solving Skills: • Effective communication *

  24. TREATMENT….. The most effective treatment for building resilience in adolescents, especially after a traumatic event, is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). What is CBT? CBT is a type of psychotherapy that puts emphasis on the importance of how we think, which influences how we feel and what we do. * How can it help? CBT can change the way that we think in order to feel and act better.

  25. Three major factors in fostering resilience… • I HAVE: Trusting relationships Role models Encouragement for autonomy & independence • I AM: Proud of myself Becoming autonomous and independent Lovable & trustworthy • I CAN: Communicate Solve problems Manage my feelings and impulses

  26. LET’S TALK….. Scenario: An eleven year old girl was taking care of her three year old brother when the house caught fire. She tried to put it out, but couldn't. Then she tried to reach her brother, but couldn't. Finally, she ran out of the house and her brother was burned to death. How would you help her cope in this situation using the three factors in resilience?

  27. Promoting Resilience • I HAVE Tell her she is loved and people are there for her. Let her know you share her grief. She’s not alone • I CAN Let her know you understand how much she tried to save her brother. Tell her she did all she could do. • I AM Help her sort out her feelings of responsibility from her actions and desire to save her brother.

  28. What NOT to do….. • If you blame the girl for not putting out the fire and for not saving her brother, you will reduce her to guilt and shame and sadness that may prevent her from ever developing resilience to overcome future adversities in life.

  29. What DO YOU think? • If the parent or other adult protects the child from all adversities, can the child strengthen his/her sense of autonomy, control and responsibility? • If the adult speaks for the child in a conflict with another child, can the child learn a social skill like negotiation? • If the child does things independently without help or advice from adults, is he or she at greater risk of harm or failure?

  31. How Resilient Are You?

  32. How Resilient Are You? • Where did you rate on the spectrum & what does it most likely mean? • For those of you who rated yourself at the beginning of the chart, you are most likely fairly resilient. • For those of you who rated yourself towards the middle or the end of the chart, you probably need some help in building resilience.

  33. Characteristics of Resilience in Children and Adolescents • Individual- Good Intellectual Functioning, Appealing, Sociable, Easygoing disposition, self- confidence, high self-esteem, talents, faith • Family- close relationship to caring parent figure, Authoritative parenting (warm structure, high expectations) socioeconomic advantages, connections to extended supportive family networks • Extrafamilial Context- Bonds to caring adults outside the family, connections to positive organizations, attending effective schools

  34. Other Factors That Can Effect Resilience • The Community in which you live. • Obrist et al. (2010) suggest that society plays a key role in structuring the world around individuals so that resilience is made possible by their taking advantage of the opportunities provided. • Being a child in a Military Family facing deployment • Being an adolescent with a illness or disease • Going through a traumatic experience

  35. Building Resilience • Being Resilient in Adolescence is linked to continuing to be resilient in emerging adulthood, but you can develop resilience in emerging adulthood. • Ways to Build Resilience • Get Away From Negative Mindsets; Try to Think Positive • Become Motivated to Better your Life • Build Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem • Get Active in Positive Organizations in Your Community
