Content Description:

The Raising Resilient Children Foundation through the Resilience Project is dedicated to disseminating information to assist adults to raise, support and develop stress hardy children. Based upon the work of Drs. Robert Brooks, Sam Goldstein and others the Foundation’s cornerstone is to help children develop the capacity to cope and feel competent, a process known as resilience. Numerous scientific studies of children facing adversity in their lives have supported the importance of resilience as a powerful, insulating force. Resilience explains why some children overcome overwhelming obstacles while others become victims of their early experiences and environments. It is the Foundation’s position that in our fast paced, stress filled, complex society, no child is immune from stress and thus all children must develop the skills necessary to be resilient. The Foundation supports The Resilience Project, a project to disseminate information through the printed word, radio, television and film, the internet, and face-to-face interaction. The processes exemplified and the information disseminated will help parents, educators, mental and medical health professionals, as well as all members of the adult community instill in children a sense of responsibility, values and the ability to make good choices in their lives.
