Social resilience

Answer 1

According to the American Psychological Association, resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress such as family, health, etc. It is the act of 'bouncing back' inspite of barriers or setbacks. Social resilience is also called community resilience. It is the ability of groups of people to respond to and recover from adverse situations such as natural disasters, epidemics, war, and socioeconomic challenges to their community. This is mainly due to strong connections or bonds that the community members have with each other.
