Date: August 30, 2010
Resiliency is a word child psychologists use to describe the ability of children to bounce back from traumatic events in their lives. Some children are far more resilient than others, even when their circumstances seem nearly identical. As part of our series, “Kansas Health: A Prescription for Change”, Health Reporter Bryan Thompson sat down with University of Kansas Child Psychologist Yo Jackson to talk about her research into why some kids seem to bounce back from childhood abuse and neglect...and others don’t.

Yo Jackson is a clinical child psychologist at the University of Kansas. She was recently awarded a 1.7-million dollar grant from the National Institutes of Health to explore resiliency in children. Professor Jackson spoke with Kansas Public Radio’s Bryan Thompson. For more, including a link to the research project’s website, go to kpr.ku.edu. Just click on the “Health Series” link.
