Iran’s Resilience Media: The First Specialized Platform for Social Resilience

Introduction and Vision

Iran’s Resilience Media (resiliencemedia.ir) is the first specialized media platform in the Islamic Republic of Iran exclusively dedicated to Social Resilience

Drawing from the Latin root of “resilience”—meaning to spring back or rebound from crisis—this comprehensive portal promotes knowledge, adaptation, and resistance strategies within social, psychological, and sociological contexts

Adopting a systemic approach to content production, Iran’s Resilience Media defines its mission as creating a “defensive shield” for Iranian society against complex and emerging threats such as hybrid wars, intricate economic challenges, and unintentional social risks

Founding, Background, and Core Mission

This specialized media outlet is the culmination of years of continuous effort and initiatives established and guided by Dr. Javad Tolaschi Yekta, recognized in Iran as the “Father of Resilience Media and Social Work

Historical Timeline: The platform’s evolution began with earlier specialized websites, including the launch of iraniansocialworkers.ir (in 2013 CE/1392) and madadkarnews.ir (in 2015 CE/1394). It officially solidified its path as the exclusive and specialized reference with the debut of resiliencemedia.ir in 2023 CE/1402

Our Core Mission is founded on several key principles

Discourse Pioneering: Establishing and deepening the scientific discourse on social resilience at the national level
Professional Synergy: Creating a collaborative environment for graduates and professionals in psychological, sociological, and social work fields
Exclusive Scientific Authority: Operating as the sole, authoritative reference to prevent professional misuse and title forgery in the field of social resilience
Knowledge Production: Emphasizing scientific authenticity, education, research, and publishing (including specialized books, articles, and notes)

Our audience includes professionals, policymakers, educators, and the general public interested in developing individual, familial, and national resilience, with a specific focus on Iranian contexts, such as post-crisis economic recovery and national resilience goals
