This adaptive capacity for over-coming is dependent on multiples variables including social support, self-efficacy, and positive psychological coping methods. Resilience for military servicemen, families, and other individuals facing adversity emerge from a set of adaptive capacities which are often networked through personal connections, guidance of a mental health professional, or groups of social support.
