Families Tackling Tough
Times: Resilience in the Face of Trauma - 1 LEU
Wednesday, July 8, 2020 - 1:00 -2:00 PM EST
Presented by: Shelley MacDermid Wadsworth - Distinguished Professor, Human Development and Family Studies, Purdue University
“Resilience,” while an over-used term, is a very important scientific concept. Far from being rare, it is common for families to display resilience when faced with adversity. Nonetheless, threats to resilience, trauma among them, are also common. This webinar will review the scientific definitions of resilience and family resilience, and consider factors that may threaten or promote resilience. A new program created at Purdue to support family resilience during the pandemic will be introduced.
