The reinforcement of personal resilience is the growth of the abilities to see the meaning in what are they doing, D tells. 'The belief that you can influence the course of action in the neighborhood, the possibility of coining your own efforts, it all contributes to self-esteem', F explains. It concerns 'to be connected as individual to a meaningful whole', F adds. It is a substantiation of the joined reinforcement as well.
