The 2020 Cigna Resilience index study showed that although children start off as highly resilient, they experience a sharp decline in resilience through their early pre-teen years through age 23. To better understand and help Americans build resilience in the face of today’s challenges, Cigna fielded a multi-arm national survey of 16,500 school-aged children, their parents, young adults, and working adults. Tom Heritage, LPC discusses ways to build resilience in our children and their classrooms.
