Resilience is when one has good outcomes in spite of serious threats to adaptation of development (Masten, 2001, p. 228). Resilience is linked to higher academic achievement, greater well-being, and better social outcomes. Furthermore, resilient individuals are less likely to experience negative life outcomes (e.g., psychopathology, incarceration). In this unit students will gain an understanding of resilience theories, key elements of different theories, and ways of applying these theories to practice. Additionally, the unit provides exemplars of how to analyse systems, measure elements of resilience (coping, self-worth), and implement interventions to develop resilience. The concepts are embedded in culture and context to ensure that the application will be relevant across contexts.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECUs LMS as well as additional ECU l
