Resilience (community psychology) is a dynamic process characterized by positive adaptation and successful coping in the face of adversity, stress, or significant challenge, viewed through an ecological lens that considers the interplay between individuals, groups, and their environmental contexts. Within community psychology, resilience is understood not solely as an inherent individual trait but as an outcome shaped by the availability and utilization of environmental resources, social support systems, community strengths, and protective factors at multiple ecological levels. This concept is central to understanding how individuals and communities navigate difficult circumstances, maintain well-being, and promote positive functioning, informing interventions in areas such as child maltreatment prevention, community health, and adaptation to systemic or environmental challenges.
