Assumptions of the effectiveness of the system resilience building program

Modern, systemic understanding of resilience as the ability of the individual, but also the community and other systems to select and provide the resources needed for positive functioning despite risk exposure, has opened space for designing programs that will provide the same resources. A review of the literature shows that experts and scientists have successfully directed the results of practice, which refer to the positive systems functioning despite the presence of risk, to create recommendations for designing programs that will help individuals, communities and other systems to build resilience. Such programs are of particular importance for victim empowerment. This paper aims to explain the basic assumptions of the effectiveness of programs aimed at building system resilience, which relate to the elements of assessment, design principles and key characteristics of resilience-building programs.
