Strong Families May Have to Cope with More Stress

Did you know that stronger people and families
may have to cope with more stress than average? 
Why? 
Because they reach out to friends and relatives in need of help,
and because others turn to a strong family when a crisis strikes.   
So the strong family may need to cope with their own challenges,
while also helping others.
No wonder even strong families can get burned out.  
As our job loss and money crunch swamp all boats,
even strong families need a lifeline called resilience.
Stressed Family, Strong Family:
Coping with Problems, Building Resilience,
Handling Crises
has helped parents, kids, and school staff to
discover more strengths,
solve problems,
and cope with stress.
Many people find that problems don’t seem as big,
if they can start using strengths they have overlooked.

 “But we’re already coping”
You and your family or class are probably already coping with stress. But you may want to improve your ability to handle a new crisis.
Better coping comes from resilience.
Resilience means learning from past challenges, and not getting overwhelmed, as you handle a new crisis or disaster.
In other words, resilience comes from using your strengths in a crisis. But a crisis can make you lose sight of your strengths.
  Stressed Family, Strong Family aims to help you keep your strengths in focus and avoid burnout.
