What's In Your Resilience Portfolio?

On this show Dr. Sherry Hamby, psychologist and founding editor or the Psychology Of Violence will apply her expertise to building resilience. When people dream of the future, they do not dream about avoiding depression or minimizing pain. People dream about seeking and achieving joy, love, and meaning. In the effort to prevent violence or help survivors, psychology often focuses on red flags, warning signs, and trauma symptoms, overlooking our needs for personal strategies to insure healthy relationships and maximize a meaningful life. Using a new concept called resilience portfolios, Dr. Hamby will discuss evidence-based strategies for individuals and communities to build strengths, promote safety, and secure well-being even in the face of life's adversity.
