How resilient are you?
This questionnaire from Cigna measures your personal resilience

When faced with adversity, resilience is your ability to use your personal skills and the resources around you to overcome the challenges you’re up against.

In August 2020, Cigna surveyed 5,000 children ages 5-17 and their parents, 1,500 young adults ages 18-23 and 5,000 U.S. working-aged adults as part of its Cigna Resilience Index which found resilience is at risk for approximately 60 percent of Americans. The research reveals a close link between resilience and mental and physical health, feelings of self-worth and self-esteem, and academic and professional achievement, demonstrating the need for children and adults alike to build greater resilience today.

Did You Know…

Strong relationships and a sense of belonging are essential for children to develop resilience. Approximately three in ten children say they only sometimes fit in or do not fit in at all, and those who say they do not fit in are over 25 times more likely to have low resilience.

Mentorship at an early age can help instill high level of resilience at an early age. Children with a mentor demonstrated an over 10 percent increase in resilience compared to children without a mentor.

Being employed and having good relationships with your coworkers can be beneficial to your health. Full-time workers have the highest resilience levels and both full- and part-time workers who say they have supportive coworkers show higher levels of resilience.
