Childhood resiliency
Childhood is often considered a happy, carefree time, but children are not always shielded from trauma and turmoil. From bullying and divorce to abuse and grief, kids can be exposed to many of life’s challenges. For these children, resiliency skills can help them discover ways to cope with difficult situations and move forward.
What is resiliency?
When someone experiences trauma, it can be a slippery slope to additional challenges, including depression, anxiety, substance use and more. Resiliency is the ability to cope with and bounce back from life’s traumas in a healthy, positive way.
