In these tumultuous times, lives have been disrupted and many families struggle to move forward from painful losses, multi-stress hardships, and future uncertainties. Family resilience—relational processes in overcoming adversity—has valuable application in community-based practice with couples and families facing serious life challenges. As research attests, human resilience is relationally based, nourished in our vital connections.
In this workshop, Froma Walsh, the leading expert on family resilience, presents her research-informed practice framework to build resilience in distressed couples and families, helping all members from youths to elders. From extensive experience, she applies this approach in a wide range of adverse situations: complicated loss; disruptive life transitions (e.g. separation/divorce; and persistent multi-stress conditions, (e.g. illness/disability; job loss/financial strains). The workshop provides intervention principles, guidelines, and case illustrations to mobilize key relational processes for coping and positive adaptation, attuned to cultural and family diversity. Facilitating empowering beliefs and practices, and tapping systemic, cultural, and spiritual resources, promotes meaning-making, hope, and resourcefulness in facing challenges. Beyond problem solving, this approach can yield profound transformation and positive growth—deepening bonds and inspiring new life possibilities to thrive. We’ll also discuss ways to nurture resilience in our multi-stress professional and personal lives.
