Abstract
Abstract This introductory chapter explains the coverage of this book, which is about resilience in palliative care. This book aims to understand and review how health and social care professionals can identify, promote, and work with resilience. It also presents emerging evidence from research and practice to identify what works in promoting healthy coping, empowerment, and prevention, and how to integrate work with individuals, families, organizations, and communities.
