Training and education are two fundamental tools to prepare active citizens to cope with traumatic events (disasters, death of a loved one, illness...).

University becomes a space of excellence to provide training and education.

As part of life, people are faced with successive setbacks, misfortunes, traumatic events ...

The process of training and education must recognize the person as active and should focus on both their deficits and strengths (resilience centered approach).

5-TO SUM UP...

Sometimes we feel that life hits us, illness, accident, death and even an attack or a natural disaster occur in our lives; that's when we realized that we have not all under control and is, at this time, when crop our strengths and weaknesses to overcome the situation experienced.

Resilience is a hope, a new look, a light with which we can understand the processes that we live because of these experiences. Brings us to the fact that individuals, families and communities, possess capabilities to overcome and even emerge stronger in adverse, difficult and / or traumatic situation.
