“…Consider, for example, Haeri's (2007) comparative study of two Pakistani women's resilient strategies following experiences of rape in police custody. One woman's resilient strategies were denial and finding solace in religious symbolism, while the other woman spoke out and advocated for gender equity.…”

This paper offers a critical exploration of the concept of resilience, which is largely conceptualised in the literature as an extraordinary atypical personal ability to revert or 'bounce back' to a point of equilibrium despite significant adversity. While resilience has been explored in a range of contexts, there is little recognition of resilience as a social process arising from mundane practices of everyday life and situated in personenvironment interactions. Based on an ethnographic study among single refugee women with children in Brisbane, Australia, the women's stories on navigating everyday tensions and opportunities revealed how resilience was a process operating intersubjectively in the social spaces connecting them to their environment. Far beyond the simplistic binaries of resilience versus non-resilient, we concern ourselves here with the everyday processual, person-environment nature of the concept. We argue that more attention should be paid to day-today pathways through which resilience outcomes are achieved, and that this has important implications for refugee mental health practice frameworks

“…In this synthesis, problem-solving involves thinking of and implementing solutions to various problems. Girls and women across cultures were resourceful in dealing with financial difficulties (Carreón, 2006;Casale, 2010;Clarke, 2009), and took their time to find solutions to declines in health, the threat of violence, and racial prejudice (Haeri, 2007;Kinsel, 2004;O'Connor, 2002;Van Wormer, Sudduth, & Jackson, 2011). Problem-solving facilitated the reframing of problems as challenges, careful analysis of their particular circumstances, and the development of constructive strategies.…”

“…Problem-solving facilitated the reframing of problems as challenges, careful analysis of their particular circumstances, and the development of constructive strategies. Mostly, the motivation to problem-solve came from girls and women needing to care for family members, including children (Casale, 2010;Haeri, 2007;Sano, 2012;Shepherd et al, 2010).…”

“…encouragement. Scriptures and religious books and poems were found to be a source of strength and encouragement more frequently for adult Christian and Muslim women made vulnerable by trauma and abuse (sexual, emotional, and physical) (Bowland et al, 2011;Clarke, 2009;Haeri, 2007;Moxley, Washington & Calligan, 2012). Religious readings provided a reminder of God's (Christian/Islamic) presence and offered a sense of solace and comfort during difficulties.…”

“…In some contexts, for example, it may be less stigmatizing for a survivor to express feelings of sadness or anxiety through bodily symptoms than by verbally recounting the experience or its (Radan, 2007). cultural and community values also exert a profound influence over a victim's willingness to disclose (or not) an incident of violation or abuse, and cultural interpretations of particular kinds of events may shape a victim's own understandings of these events and the survival strategies she or he chooses to rely on posttrauma (Haeri, 2007). cultural groups also may differ considerably in their definitions of what is and is not resilient.…”

Human encounters with violence, abuse, atrocity, and catastrophe are widespread, and the psychological consequences of such exposure are often debilitating in the extreme. Indeed, epidemiological research over the past 30 years has confirmed that huge numbers of individuals in the United States and around the world have suffered, or will at some point in their lives suffer, traumatic and potentially traumatic events: some borne of natural disaster, others of human design and deliberation. Researchers and clinicians have further established convincing links between the extreme events to which human beings are exposed and the symptoms of psychological distress and impairment that can follow such exposure.Recognizing that most of the world's trauma survivors never seek or receive professional care, researchers in the traumatic stress studies field have pursued an interest in the posttraumatic response and recovery trajectories of untreated survivors from diverse cultures and contexts. More recently, the field has also exhibited a growing interest in the resilience that survivors, treated and untreated, may bring to the challenge of trauma recovery (Brown, Kallivayalil, Harvey, & Mendelsohn, 2012;Yehuda 2004). These inquiries have implications for the development of effective, culturally informed clinical intervention and for the design of public health and community change
