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)
