Resilience is something that we talk about pretty often throughout our organization, especially in the field of Prevention Education. Not only is resilience important in children and youth, but also adults! It impacts how we form and build relationships, how we cope with day-to-day life and struggles that we might face. When it comes to getting the word out about the various ways to develop and build resiliency, we turn to our friends at Search Institute. They have over 40 years of data that supports the ways we teach, learn and build this skill. Check them out to learn more!
