Michael Ungar

Michael Ungar is a Canadian researcher and professor known for his work in the field of social work and psychology, particularly focusing on resilience in children and families. He has developed the concept of "the social ecology of resilience," which emphasizes how various environmental factors, such as community and culture, contribute to an individual’s ability to cope with adversity. Ungar’s research highlights the importance of understanding the strengths and resources available in a person's life, rather than solely focusing on their challenges, to promote better mental health and well-being.
