WHAT IS RESILIENCE?
The natural human capacity to navigate life well.
(HeavyRunner & Marshall, 2003)
The capacity to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change, yet still
retain essentially the same function, structure,
identity, feedbacks.
RESILIENCE OCCURS
AT ALL LEVELS:
(Walker et al., 2002)
Individual
The ability of an individual, system or
organization to meet challenges, survive, and
do well despite adversity.
(Kirmayer, 2009)
Family
Community
National,
Global,
Ecosystem
PHASES IN RESILIENCE RESEARCH
Descriptive – What do resilient individuals have in
common?
Predictive – How questions: identify and understand
processes that might lead to resilience, including risk and
protective factors.
Contextual –Why ages, stages, personal and family history,
community context matter for promotion of resilience.
Integrative – Encompasses rapid advances in the study of genes, developmental
neurobiology, neural plasticity, and the conditions, contexts, and processes that affect
positive adaptation throughout the lifespan.
“Resilience rests, fundamentally, on relationships”.
Suniya Luthar; Resilience in development: A synthesis of research across five decades; 2006, p. 780
RESILIENCE AS A DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS
• We develop competencies & characteristics that
prepare us to be effective in the world we’re
growing into.
• We develop the capacity to adapt in the face of
challenges.
• None of us is perfect—we’ll all have moments when we don’t appear to be
very well adapted to the conditions we’re facing.
• Resilience is complex; it is possible to be resilient in one setting and
pathological in another.

2. Attachment & Belonging
3.

“Nurturing the healthy development of these protective systems affords
the most important preparation or ‘inoculation’ for overcoming
potential threats and adversities in human development. Similarly,
damage or destruction of these systems has dire consequences for the
positive adaptive capacity of individuals.”

EXAMPLES OF PROGRAM & POLICY ACTIONS
• Parent Trust for Washington Children has incorporated the ACE questions into their
work with addicted parents facing court action (DV, termination of parental rights)
resulting in: 1) improved outcomes in parenting classes and 2) reduced relapse
among parents with 4 or more ACEs.
• Safe Harbor Crisis Nursery in the Tri-Cities has incorporated ACEs and trauma into its
day-to-day strategies and case management resulting in improved outcomes for
families.
• Children of Incarcerated Parents; the Legislature has mandated the executive branch to
engage in an initiative to address the needs of children of incarcerated parents. The
initiative and its processes are framed to address the likelihood that these children
have more than this one ACE.
• With the help of the Mental Health Transformation Grant and the Office of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), Spokane is exploring the
creation/implementation of trauma sensitive practices in public schools.
• OSPI introduced the Compassionate Schools initiative, which supports local school
districts in reducing the non-academic barriers to schools success that are created by
trauma (2008). (http://www.k12.wa.us/CompassionateSchools/default.aspx)

PARAMETERS FOR INTERVENTION
1. Pay attention to critical periods and
cultural context.
2. Understand resilience as both how we
engage with other people and how we
interact with our environment.
3. Enhance the relationship between person & context.
4. Embed interventions in familiar to social setting/community
contexts.
5. Attend to possibilities for lasting impact & enduring change.

GENERAL COMMUNITY CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT MODEL
General Community Capacity is:
capacity to not only sustain programs,
but also to identify new community
problems as they arise, and develop
ways of addressing them.
General Capacity Development is a
dynamic process that enhances the
infrastructure, skills, and motivation
of a community – changing the way
we live with one another day-to-day.
Literature strongly supports the
importance of general capacity
building in the process of promoting
effective prevention. (Livet, 2008)
This model is powerful
because success in one phase
propels success in the next. It
is a virtuous cycle that has the
power to improve population
health.
