Western psychological literature often emphasizes individual agency and capability in adapting to life's challenges. While some research is beginning to conceptualize resilience as a holistic system process, the focus remains primarily on individual psychological mechanisms. Challenging this perspective necessitates empirical evidence from diverse cultural contexts to identify the embedded social and cultural processes which are beyond individual levels of support. This constructivist grounded theory study draws on in-depth interviews with 10 Lebanese Canadians to explore their experiences during major sociopolitical challenges in Lebanon. These challenges are primarily related to three recent crises: the COVID-19 pandemic, the socioeconomic crisis, and the Beirut port explosion. Findings from the study illuminate key cultural conditions and social processes that foster communal resilience on a global scale. Overall, findings point away from adopting a Procrustean view of resilience, and adopting a view which accounts for multiple contexts and factors that influence the resilience process. In the absence of systemic support, participants engaged in communal coping through the formation of global villages, to ensure survival. Participants described collective responsibilities towards their global villages and the mobilization of support. The findings contrast with Western psychological theories that narrowly focus on the individual and lack consideration for broader communal obligations. This study acknowledges the paradoxical nature of this form of resilience, resulting in an overreliance on the global villages and a lack of thriving. Based on a compelling case and rich data, the study offers insights into the complex psychological, cultural, and social processes that underpin a framework prioritizing communal well-being as a key resilience indicator. In doing so, it encourages mental health professionals to explore and foster resilience as a collective endeavor.
