Communities play a huge role in fostering resilience. Bernard identifies three characteristics of those types of communities availability of social organizations that provide an array of resources to residents, consistent expression of social norms so that community members understand what constitutes desirable behavior, and opportunities for children and youth to participate in the life of the community as valued members. The clearest sign of a cohesive and supportive community is the presence of social organizations that provide healthy human development. Services are unlikely to be used unless there is good communication concerning them. Community-school relationships are very important to give extra resources to meet even basic psychological needs of students and families.
