“Resilience works like a muscle we can build through effort and repetition, and we want to keep our muscles strong and flexible, so we can think of many ways to solve a problem.” – Dr. Mary Alvord, Founder & President

Resilience

Resilience refers to the ability to adapt well to life and its challenges.

Children may struggle to bounce back from challenges due to a variety of factors including difficulty with self-regulation and limited social competence.

Childhood resilience is associated with numerous positive outcomes including improved behavior, peer relationships, family functioning, and academic achievement.
