Abstract:
Resilience is the magic bullet that everyone wants to acquire – our teachers want to put it into the curriculum, our legislators want to transform the country, our corporates want their staff to be the best they can be against all odds. Parents want their children to be resilient as much as they themselves want to be resilient against the challenges of 21st Century parenting. Additionally, our insurers want us to be resilient against disasters and natural hazards of our environment. This presentation addresses how best to meet those challenges through coping.
Our search over the past three decades has focused on the best way to provide the core skills for life, to children, adolescents and adults, and how that is best achieved through the contemporary theories of coping. Coping has the potential of explaining a process that leads to an outcome of resilience. It has the ability to integrate a range of theories and methodologies that have the capacity to explicate how development is shaped by individual’s capacities to deal with the stresses, adversities and hassles of daily life in ways that contribute to resilience.
This presentation will focus on how coping provides the building blocks for resilience and wellbeing, what we have learned from three decades of research and how best to develop the tools for resilience in children, adolescents and adults.
