Resilience in the Face of Modern Challenges

Resilience, or the ability to adapt in the face of adversity, is increasingly important for today’s youth. There are many studies from the American Psychological Association (APA) that highlight that adolescents with strong resilience skills are less likely to suffer from anxiety and depression, even when they face significant life stressors (APA, 2015). Helping adolescents to become resilient and feel resilient is one of the pillars at EAP. It integrates resilience-building activities into its curriculum, helping adolescents manage stress, navigate peer relationships, and overcome obstacles in a healthy manner.
