Resilience is not something a person has or doesn’t have. According to the American Psychological Association, resilience involves behaviors, thoughts, and actions that can be learned. The great thing about it is that we are already wired for that; learning from each other is something we have been doing since birth. Reading about and listening to those who have faced challenges and overcome adversity can provide us with a roadmap for our own resilience journey. But most importantly, we can all be foster resilience in others by sharing our experiences with our Army Family. Share your story with us.
