Join us on Tuesday, October 14th, as the AVA Webinar Series presents the Resilience Scale Masterclass, featuring Claire Neihaus from the Palix Foundation.
Tuesday, October 14th, 2025
11am – 1:30pm MST
The Resilience Scale Masterclass explores how adversities, positive supports, and acquired skills and abilities interact to influence resilience and impact lifelong health and mental health outcomes. It provides foundational knowledge and a common language that are accessible across populations and disciplines, including policy makers, educators, practitioners, and the public. The Resilience Scale itself acts as a metaphor to communicate key concepts around resilience, and an effective visual tool to facilitate communication about life experiences, identify areas of support for children and families, and build connections to promote capacity for resilience.
