social ecology of resilience

The social ecology of resilience refers to how a person’s ability to cope with challenges depends on different layers of their environment. This includes individual traits like skills and attitude, relationships with family and friends, community support systems, local institutions, and broader societal factors. Resilience develops through interactions within these layers, meaning strong connections, resources, and support networks enhance the ability to recover from setbacks. Understanding this interconnected system helps us create environments that foster resilience across all levels, promoting overall well-being and adaptability in the face of adversity.
