Editor's Notes

  • #17: The quality or fact of being able to recover quickly or easily from, or resist being affected by [stress/stressful events]. The word “resilience” is derived from the Latin verb “salire,” which means to jump. The prefix “re-“ means “back” or “again.” Thus, “resilience” is literally about jumping back. Resilience is NOT a stable trait but rather a dynamic state that can change between situations and over the lifespan Mental health is the emotional and spiritual resilience which enables us to enjoy life and to survive pain, disappointments and sadness. It is a positive sense of well being and an underlying belief in our own and others dignity and worth.
