{"product_id":"communicating-hope-and-resilience-across-the-lifespan-9781433124921","title":"Communicating Hope and Resilience Across the Lifespan","description":"From serious illness to natural disasters, humans turn to communication as a major source of strength to help us bounce back and to keep growing and thriving.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCommunicating Hope and Resilience Across the Lifespan\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the various ways in which communication plays an important role in fostering hope and resilience. Adopting a lifespan approach and offering a new framework to expand our understanding of the concepts of  hope  and  resilience  from a communication perspective, contributors highlight the variety of  stressors  that people may encounter in their lives. They examine connections between the cognitive dimensions of hope such as self-worth, self-efficacy, and creative problem solving. They look at the variety of messages that can facilitate or inhibit experiencing hope in relationships, groups, and organizations. Other contributors look at how communication that can build strengths, enhance preparation, and model successful adaptation to change has the potential to lessen the negative impact of stress, demonstrating resilience.\u003cbr\u003e As an important counterpoint to recent work focusing on what goes wrong in interpersonal relationships, communication that has the potential to uplift and facilitate responses to stressful circumstances is emphasized throughout this volume. By offering a detailed examination of how to communicate hope and resilience, this book presents practical lessons for individuals, marriages, families, relationship experts, as well as a variety of other practitioners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4915020\"\u003eGary A.
