Developing Resilience

Definition

Dr G. Windle

Institute of Social Medical Care

Bangor University

“Resilience is the process of

negotiating, managing and adapting to

significant sources of stress or trauma.

Assets and resources within the

individual, their life and environment,

facilitate the capacity for adaptation in

the face of adversity. Across the

course of life, the experience of

resilience will vary.”
