Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity and to continue to function and grow despite difficult circumstances. By learning how to transform tragedy or negative events into something positive, individuals can develop the ability to cope with difficult situations and maintain a sense of well-being and purpose. Some of the key steps include identifying and addressing negative thoughts and emotions, finding support and building a strong social network, and setting achievable goals for the future.
