About This Webinar:

Dr. Masten discusses contemporary perspectives on resilience from a developmental systems perspective, highlighting research findings and their implications for practice.

Resilience can be defined as the capacity of a system (child, family, community, economy, or any other complex system) to adapt successfully to challenges that threaten system function, viability, or development. Military children and parents face a combination of common adversities as well as some unique challenges posed for example by deployment and moving. They also have common and unique resources that will be highlighted.

Resilience is dynamic, changing over time as individuals develop and situations change: developmental timing matters. The resilience of any individual depends on many systems inside the person, in their close relationships, and in the communities and cultures in which they live. Findings from research on resilience in children and parents will summarized along with its implications for practice. The striking similarity of resilience factors observed in research on individual and family resilience will be discussed. A resilience framework for action will be presented, emphasizing strategies for promoting resilience, both generally and in the context of military service.
