Resilient children grow up confident that they can meet life’s challenges and they know who they can go to teach them the skills they need to succeed. They have positive and loving people at home, in the schools and the community who support their independence and development and help insulate them from stress and trauma.

Recent developments in affective neuroscientific research and the Trauma Sensitive Schools movement help us re-conceptualize and understand the construct of resilience from a biopsychosocial perspective and this powerful knowledge translates directly into practical things that we can all do, in any setting, to help children optimize their physical health and mental health.
