Resilience – Why bother? Conference, 6-7 April 2011, Brighton
Our Resilience – Why bother? Conference was held in the lovely seaside town of Brighton in April 2011 and welcomed hundreds of resilience folk from a variety of backgrounds and countries. The conference was a huge success thanks in no small part to all the fab speaker and poster contributions, and our amazing technical and stewarding team!
Share, swap and debate resilience research and practice knowledge
The conference was for those who are passionate about the field of resilience: Researchers, practitioners, parents and carers, policy makers, service users and young adults.
This exciting conference was a creative mix of different individuals and groups, coming together to examine what resilience research is telling us AND consider ways of working in light of these findings. Just how does resilience help us to foster healthy responses in times of trouble?
The programme included keynotes from leading international academics, parents, young people and practitioners, with workshops, panel debate, posters and networking.
Attending enabled participants to:
• Learn about resilience research and practice application in different health, social care and community contexts
• Develop research and practice partnerships
• Network with others working with resilience from the UK and beyond.
The conference was a collaborative venture, organised by the University of Brighton with community partners, Amaze and Boingboing.
