Find the relevant research… • “Resilience is defined as an inborn developmental wisdom that naturally motivates individuals to meet their human needs for love, belonging, respect, identity, power, mastery, challenge, and meaning. When young people experience home, peer, school and community environments rich in the developmental supports and opportunities of caring relationships, high expectations, and opportunities for meaningful participation, these needs are met. In turn, youth develop the individual characteristics that define healthy development and successful learning – and protect against involvement in health-risk behaviors.” • Hanson, T.L., and Austin, G.A.
