Understanding resilience in victims of stalking-like behaviours

07 November 2018

The project is about understanding whether specific coping strategies and a person’s belief in their ability to cope with stressors has a link with the positive and negative outcomes of experiencing stalking-like behaviours.

We are asking people who have and have not experienced stalking-like behaviours to take part in an online survey about this, so that we can compare the responses that people give. There is an invite to optional follow-up interview about resilience.
