Resilience was once considered extraordinary invincibility in the face of adversity but is now deemed a basic human adaptive system. This paper reviews the development and utility of resilience as a concept in the field of child and adolescent mental health. In addition, the primary risk and protective factors associated with resilience are evaluated. The implications of resilience research for the implementation of effective interventions in improving outcomes for children and adolescents will also be discussed.
