In war zones and refugee camps, researchers are putting resilience interventions to the test
For Yale researcher Catherine Panter-Brick, one of the most valuable lessons out of Jordan came from the young people themselves. They reminded her that resilience research "is not about rescuing victims of chaos," she says. Rather, it calls for identifying potential sources of strength that young people can draw on to survive, even thrive. "It's about reshaping your lens on the world," she says, "to what people feel respects their dignity."
