What is transformational resilience?
‘’The capacity of individuals and groups to use their existing strengths and resources to
deliberately regulate their body, emotions and thoughts, and use adversity as a catalyst to
find new meaning, direction, and hope in life by making decisions that enhance personal,
social and environmental wellbeing’’ – Bob Doppelt, 2015
