Abstract
Can violent extremism be countered through community-level interventions in Muslim diaspora communities in the US? Statements from US policymakers say it can be done through a focus on enhancing resilience. Resilience, as defined by community, family, and trauma psychologists, refers to multisystemic adaptive capacities leading to improved outcomes after a disturbance. Applying existing knowledge on resilience to countering violent extremism in Muslim diaspora communities leads to a focus on enhancing protective resources through a public health prevention strategy, using multilevel, multidimensional, and contextual approaches. The development and evaluation of new policies and interventions is necessary to build community resilience to violent extremism in Muslim diaspora communities in the US.
