Some of the R2 Resilience program affiliates:

“Your talks really brought resilient theory in practice to life and the feedback I received from those who I did speak to afterwards echoed this. Attendees felt you provided inspiration, clarity and a lot of food for thought.”

“I’ve had the opportunity to partner with the Resilience Research Centre for the past two years and it has been the best partnership of my career. Dr. Michael Ungar and his team have created a robust resilience building program to help young people cope with social anxiety, which is being implemented across many countries through the Clear brand, from Unilever. The most interesting part of it is how the training teaches people to be more rugged and more resourced, so they can truly build their resilience.”

“Dr Ungar has been pivotal in our work to support a shared framework for intervening in the lives of children, youth and families who struggle with mental health and other issues. His concepts resonate with our values of being strengths-based and our philosophy that we are more effective when we can view the child/youth and their needs within the broader context of their family/community. Those who have trained with Dr Ungar have a deepened appreciation for what can be done with even the most complex situation to increase resilience and the resources needed for life’s challenges.”

“High praise for Dr. Michael Ungar’s R2 Resilence work. Building resilience is the key not just for survival but opening the pathways to thrive.”

“Dr. Ungar and his approach to resilience has given me a new more agile way of thinking about and supporting the health and wellbeing of my team. His work is engaging and practical, which is exactly what leaders need to deal with ambiguity during periods of disruption, growth and change.”

“Professor Ungar is regarded internationally as a vital resource for enhancing science, policies, and programs fostering well-being amongst young people everywhere”
