RESEARCH PROJECT
Recognizing and Supporting Psychological Resilience: Regional Approaches Across the Nordic Countries
ABOUT: This project explores how Nordic regions can strengthen psychological resilience, understood as the capacity of individuals and communities to adapt to and recover from crises. Recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have highlighted the importance of societal preparedness, not only in practical terms but also for mental well-being. Strengthening psychological resilience requires capacity to respond to acute crises but also to build stable, trust-based communities in everyday life.
