Association: stressors – resources – mental health

• The relationship between the stressors and resources is crucial in the emergence of a mental illness.
• The more resources you have available, the less stressors can harm you.
• And the more stressors you have already successfully managed in the past, the more power this will give you for dealing with stressors today.
• Some researchers even talk of a stress inoculation effect (or: Stress-immunization) which you can undergo. So bring the stress on…
• And of course: A pile of resources!
