PJ’s Resilience Rules
 Resilience is the rule, not the exception.
 Close to 70% of youth growing up in the most
challenging, high-risk conditions develop resilience
and lead successful lives.
 It’s not in the genes.
 Resilient people are not super human.
 You can launch a frog!
7
Fostering resilience is a process,
not a program.
 Believe in the potential of each person.
 Focus on listening.
 Provide opportunities for real
participation and contribution.
