Many families cope successfully with difficult situations and
can adapt according to their circumstances1,2. What is it about these families that enables them to cope, and even thrive, despite the odds? This paper looks at the capacity of families to respond and adapt as situations arise. Rather than focusing on particular risks or adversities that some families face, or the outcomes that these risks may lead to, it combines resilience and family-level approaches to deepen our understanding of family resilience. A resilience approach involves exploring the protective factors and resources that enable families to adapt when faced with adversity. (from the introduction).
