| Summary: WestEd’s Bonnie Benard, author of Resiliency: What We Have Learned, was quoted in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Tribune-Review regarding her expertise in the theory of resilience. Benard noted that resilient people share traits including empathy, problem-solving skills, a sense of self-awareness, and a sense of purpose and future. More and more, educators and mental health professionals are embracing the resilience approach to helping kids, which involves identifying children's strengths and weaknesses, and then connecting them with people and programs that nurture the strengths. |
