Raising Minds greatly appreciates the use of the Family Resilience Fact Sheets developed by Everymind. Everymind is a leading institute dedicated to the prevention of mental ill-health & suicide.
These resources are useful for families who have a child living with a chronic illness as well as any family who would like to build their resilience.
Family resilience fact sheets
Resilient families are better able to face life’s stresses; to bounce forward following difficult times and to adjust in healthy ways to life’s challenges. For this reason, supporting the resilience of families during periods of stress can help to maintain and improve wellbeing.
