About Us

If you travel to another country or time zone, you would do well to find out about the weather on the other side.  It is possible to experience summer where you are at the moment and yet it can, at the same time be winter where you are going to.  When you act on that knowledge then you carry a set of warm clothes so that even if it is cold when you are arrive where it is winter – you can still feel warm – until the weather changes. That is how the resilient think and act: this is not just positive thinking but pro-active thinking and behaviour. 

 

“Resilience is sometimes misunderstood as the ability to be armoured against difficulty but it is, in fact more… it is the ability to bounce back from the setbacks of life. It is the capacity to remain flexible in thoughts, behaviours and emotions when under stress – when faced by a life disruption, or extended periods of pressure, so that we emerge from difficulty stronger, wiser, and more able.”  It is not just about bouncing back because unlike rubber balls, we are affected and shaped by life’s obstacles. The Resilient accept the things they cannot change and use as it as a learning curve to become better instead of bitter. 

 

Disruption in families is inevitable – the real question is: “How will we be shaped because of and inspite of what happens.” We believe that it is better to prepare than to repair.  ResilientFamilies is built on the premise that Resilient  families  are  cohesive  and  have  flexible roles, positive  belief  systems,  and effective communication and problem-solving.  

 

It is better to know than to think that you know … it is better to be prepared to navigate through life’s challenges in the context of family relationships.   “Family resiliency is the family’s ability to cultivate strengths to positively meet the challenges of life” Family Resiliency Network, USDA Cooperative Extension Service, 1993.
