This webinar will explore the critical role of resilience in medical family therapy and its profound impact on patient and family well-being. Resilience, defined as the ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity, is essential in healthcare settings where individuals often encounter significant stress and challenges. Using Ungar’s Socio-Ecological Resiliency Model, this session will examine various dimensions of resilience, including individual, community, and environmental resources, and discuss their integration into therapeutic practice.
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of protective factors that contribute to resilience, such as strong family bonds, effective communication, and community support. The webinar will provide practical insights into strategies that promote resilience in patients and families, highlighting how resilience can be fostered through relational approaches and community resource utilization. Additionally, the intersection of social determinants of health and resilience will be discussed, showcasing how these factors interact to shape health outcomes.
By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped with a deeper understanding of resilience-building in clinical practice, supporting more holistic and effective patient care. A dedicated Q&A period will follow the presentation to address any questions or further discussion points.
