Recovery and Resilience

Recovery refers to the process of returning to normal after a setback or challenge, such as an illness, disaster, or economic downturn. Resilience is the capacity to adapt, withstand, and bounce back from difficulties, maintaining stability and continuing to function effectively. Together, they describe how individuals, communities, or systems respond to adversity: recovery is the journey back to normal, while resilience is the strength and flexibility that help them withstand shocks and minimize long-term impacts. Building resilience supports quicker, more robust recovery from future challenges.
