Resilience
Rebuilding confidence to move forward after difficulties
Resilience helps families bounce back from setbacks together.

Essay
Resilience, Trust, and Empathy
by Jill Tomey
When a traumatic event rocks a family or a community, they will call upon their trust and empathy to be resilient in facing a challenge. If trust is weak and connections are fragile, survival will be a much larger struggle. It’s been said that tragedy builds character, which is true but first, it reveals character. Character building will take place as the challenge is overcome and fully realized on the other side of survival. If a family or community has strong trust and robust relationships, their Resilience will also be powerful, and recovery will be much quicker. The moral? Feed your relationships regularly to improve your Resilience.
How will you improve your Resilience?
