Resilience is defined as "the learned ability of a child or adult to recover from and show effective adaptation following traumatic events or an accumulation of adverse circumstances.7 A consistent and nurturing relationship with at least one supportive parent, caregiver, or other adult is the single most common factor for children who develop resilience.8 Collective resilience results when individuals with a shared identity band together to support one another and draw on their solidarity to promote healing.9 Systemic resilience refers to policies and practices that promote healing.10" (9)

“Resilience is the ability to withstand or recover from stressors, and results from a combination of intrinsic factors, extrinsic factors (like safe, stable, and nurturing relationships with family members and others), and predisposing biological susceptibility.42,98,99. Of note, while the term resilience is often considered in the mental health and behavioral domains, scientific advances in understanding of the impact of stress on neuro-endocrine-immune-metabolic and genetic regulatory health compel advancement of the definition of resilience to also include these domains as well.” (p. 18-19)
