What supports student resilience during times of crisis?

Student resilience during times of crisis is significantly supported by crisis counselors. These professionals are specifically trained to assist students in navigating challenging emotions and situations that may arise during crises. They provide a safe environment for students to express their feelings and concerns, which can facilitate healing and coping. Moreover, crisis counselors can offer strategies to manage stress and anxiety, helping students to build resilience and regain a sense of control.

While other factors, like family support, can also play a role in resilience, crisis counselors serve a unique function by addressing immediate psychological needs and providing targeted interventions. This direct, professional support helps students not only to cope with the current crisis but also to develop skills that enhance their overall resilience in the future.
