Resilience, Connecting with others

Resilience is a person’s ability to bounce back from setbacks. Everyone has moments where their resilience is tested. When they are unable to recover and do not have the support of those around them, accidents are more likely to occur, potentially leading to damage to the ship, the environment or the crew on board.
