Resilient Teens Have you ever wondered why some people are able to bounce back after difficult events in their lives?

Would you like to know the secret?
Resilience

Resilience is important for several reasons; it enables us to develop mechanisms for protection against experiences which could be overwhelming, it helps us to maintain balance in our lives during difficult or stressful periods, and can also protect us from the development of some mental health difficulties and issues.

Young people who contribute to the well-being of others will receive gratitude rather than condemnation. You will learn that contributing feels good and may therefore more easily turn to others and do so without shame.

Resilience can lead to increased involvement in community or family activities.

Meet our Team: Melissa Bemiller, Ph. D.
Originally from South Bend, Indiana, Melissa moved to Orlando, FL, where she attended the University of Central Florida. After graduating with her Ph.D., she accepted her first position as an Assistant Professor at Lakeland College in Wisconsin. Next, she moved to Tennessee, where she was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Memphis Lambuth Campus, before moving to Augusta University.

Resilience is made up of five pillars: Self-Awareness, Mindfulness, Self-Care, Positive Relationships, and Purpose. By strengthening these pillars, we in turn, become more resilient.

Instead of focusing only on achievements, work on the development of personal qualities like fairness, integrity, persistence, and kindness.
