Received Date: Sep 02, 2024 / Published Date: Sep 30, 2024
Abstract
Psychological resilience refers to the ability to adapt and recover from adversity, trauma, or significant stress. While much of the research on resilience has focused on mainstream populations, remote Indigenous communities offer unique insights into how cultural, social, and environmental factors contribute to mental health resilience. Indigenous peoples, often living in isolated or rural areas, face unique challenges such as historical trauma, social marginalization, and limited access to healthcare. Despite these adversities, many Indigenous communities demonstrate remarkable psychological resilience, adapting to their environments and preserving cultural practices that support mental well-being. This article examines the concept of psychological resilience in remote Indigenous communities, exploring the factors that contribute to resilience, the role of cultural practices, and the implications for mental health interventions. Through a review of existing literature and case studies, the article highlights the strengths and vulnerabilities of Indigenous populations and underscores the importance of culturally relevant mental health care.
