Summary
Individual resilience involves behaviors, thoughts, and actions that promote personal well-being and mental health. People can develop the ability to withstand, adapt to, and recover from stress and adversity and maintain or return to a state of mental health well-being by using effective coping strategies. People develop resilience by learning better skills and strategies for managing stress and better ways of thinking about life’s challenges. Since people respond to stress and adversity like that from the COVID-19 pandemic differently, resilience can help get through and overcome hardship (Center on Developing Child, 2020). The level and degree of social support affects the level of resilience as a protective factor in individuals (Cicchetti & Toth, 1998).
