What if we treated resilience the same way we treat prevention—something to build before the crisis hits?
In this powerful conversation, Dave Closson sits down with Shane Varcoe, Executive Director of the Dalgarno Institute, to unpack a deeper, more actionable understanding of resilience. Together, they explore how resilience isn’t about being unshakable, but about bouncing back—and why it’s essential to build it ahead of time, not just after the fall.You’ll hear:
- Why the common definition of resilience is missing the mark
- How identity, emotions, and purpose shape our ability to bounce back
- The danger of tying resilience to emotional control or personality
- What it means to have an “anchor” and a “why” in your personal toolkit
- The role of resilience in substance misuse prevention—and how to foster it in young people and communities
Whether you're a prevention professional, educator, or simply someone navigating life’s challenges, this episode offers insight, tools, and a fresh perspective on how to live—and lead—with resilience.Explore more about Shane’s work: dalgarnoinstitute.org.au Listen to Shane’s podcast: Unnecessary Harm : https://unnecessaryharm.com.au/Learn about World Resiliency Week: https://worldresiliencyday.com.au/
