Resilience is
•
the ability to thrive, adapt and cope despite stress,
•
a natural counter-weight to ACEs,
•
not an innate characteristic,
•
a skill that can be taught, learned and practiced.
The more resilient, the more likely able to deal with negative situations in
a healthy way.
Everybody has the ability to become resilient when surrounded by the
right environments and people.

Cynthia Manfold, Kindergarten Teacher
“The sad thing is a lot of our students think
that what they are going through is normal,
this is their normal. If no one has given them
anything to think otherwise, I think that is
where the cycle just keeps going and going.”
Dr. Jack Shonkoff, Harvard University
•
“We need to do more than give parents information
and advice: we need to build their capabilities.”
•
“Scientific research points to the presence of a stable,
caring adult in a child’s life as the key to building the
skills of resilience.”
“Exposure to early adversity and trauma literally
affects the structure and function of children’s
developing brains.”
Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, Center for Youth Wellness
“If all day long you feel like a truck is coming at you,
day after day after day, that’s going to take a toll on
the body.”
Dr. Victor Carrion, Stanford University
