Special Encore Presentation: Roadmap to Resilience: Specific Ways to Bolster Resilience with Guest Don Meichenbaum , Ph.D.

Summary: Our guest today is Dr. Don Meichenbaum, who will discuss the research findings that in the aftermath of traumatic and victimizing experiences (combat, abuse, violence, natural disasters, and the like), some 75% of individuals will be impacted but they go on to evidence resilience or the ability to “bounce back”. In contrast, some 25% will experience persistent adjustment difficulties. Dr. Meichenbaum will examine what distinguishes these two groups and discuss specific ways to bolster resilience in six domains (physical, interpersonal, emotional, thinking, behavioral and spiritual).
