Resilience
When people can manage stressors well
and bounce back, can call them
‘resilient’ or ‘resourceful’.
Being able to manage big feelings when
things go wrong is one part of being
resilient.
Other people find it more difficult to manage
stressors. They may:
▪ Have big reactions, even when small things happen
▪ Stay feeling bad for a long time after something bad
has happened.
▪ Find it hard to let go of arguments and be unsure
how to sort things out.
This can be described as being ‘vulnerable’.
There are lots of reasons some people may
be more resilient and resourceful and other
people are more vulnerable.
