Resilience and Well-being
Understanding Clergy Resilience - Margaret Clarke, Phd (2021)
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from challenges and adversity. Resilience theory and insights from resilience research have been applied to clergy; however, there is limited published research directly investigating clergy resilience. The purpose of this study was to explore the nature of Christian clergy resilience in Canada to support its development through post-secondary training, ongoing professional development, and individual care. This mixed methods doctoral dissertation study received approval from the Research Ethics Board of the University of Saskatchewan. As data collection for this study occurred during June - August 2020, all findings were impacted by the all-encompassing COVID-19 global pandemic.
