In many ways, the Covid pandemic has tested the resilience of people of all ages, everywhere. Its many stressors have taken a toll on our mental health and placed a disproportionate burden on the most vulnerable populations. Whether in a pandemic or other challenging circumstance, research shows there are strategies to help even the most vulnerable survive and thrive in the face of adversity.
Creating the conditions for resilience involves all kinds of positive forces interacting, said Dr. Michael Ungar, director, Resilience Research Centre and Canada research chair in child, family and community resilience at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada.
