Resilience Model for Individuals

(source: Sven Hansen, 2006)

Linked with the above model  is the 7 "C's" framework (Kenneth Ginsburg in Sue Bagshaw, 2011) to help people deal with stress and risk, ie 

- competence (to develop skills, expertise, etc to handle challenges) 

- confidence (feeling able to handle challenges, ie think differently; recover from mishaps quickly, ie treat them as learning experiences) 

- connection (contacts that provide positive reinforcement in a safe environment so that people feel secure to to meet challenges) 

- character (understand what is right and wrong; a commitment to integrity) 

- contribution (help with the well-being of others, especially those less fortunate; a giving rather than taking attitude) 

- coping (possess a variety of healthy coping strategies; focus on the long term rather than quick fixes) 

- control (understanding privileges and respect are earned through demonstrated responsibility will help people make wise choices) 

Another framework is the 3 Cs, ie Transition mindset (change scorecard)

Three elements

i) Courage (to take on the unknown: to challenge the barriers that are inhibiting the change; challenging the status quo, stereotypes, etc; to be vulnerable; asking questions

ii) Curiosity (willing to explore the unknown; understand the responses and learn from them)

iii) Compassion (it is better than empathy, as empathy means you show the same responses, feelings, etc, ie your neuron response mirrors the other, amygdala is hijacked; while compassion means you understand others' feelings and help them to alleviate their pain - this will activate the reward centres of our brain, ie releases feel-good hormones

These 3 are the basis of being resilient.
