Promoting health and wellness: Tools, resources to help adults build resilience and thrive“The events of the past year have taken a toll on many of us, but we can bounce back. As we cope, recover and learn from the challenges we have faced, we have an opportunity to emerge stronger than before.” Resilience is defined by Merriam-Webster as “the ability to recover from, or adjust easily to, misfortune or change.” Damico says there has never been a more important time for adults to focus on building their own resilience. “We are always going to face adversity or hardships. By nurturing our resilience, we will be better equipped to handle whatever life throws our way,” Damico explained. “In addition, research shows a critical connection between the health and well-being of children and the adults who care for them. Because of this, it is essential that adults take care of themselves, so they are better able to care for the children in their lives.” Focusing on self-loveSelf-love is key to strengthening resilience. The better you become at loving yourself, the better you will be able to share love with others. The Devereux Center for Resilient Children (DCRC) offers a series of free videos exploring self-love. Look below for details about each episode.
