Access to Lectures | Speaker

Resilience of individuals is a well established and useful concept in the psychology and mental health literatures but has been little explored in relation to communities. Related areas of theory in the community development and social impact assessment literature, however, provide insight into the qualities and assets of communities that enable them to develop effectively or to adapt to major changes. This paper reports the components of community and individual resilience identified through a participatory action research study with a community in rural Australia. Stanthorpe, in southeast Queensland, is in a temperate fruit growing area, and at the time of study had recovered from severe fires and hailstorms.
