About Resilience for Life
As the name of our business indicates Resilience For Life means knowing how to obtain, manage or restore your resilience. Learning how to establish authentic resilience for living a real life. I believe that your mental health care is primary, with therapy grounded in evidence. Resilience is more than bouncing back, more than establishing a mask of positivity in the face of adversity. Authentic Resilience is knowing how to stay motivated and facing adversity with every decision, every managed emotion, self-care, and social and supportive networks.
Our work is built around three connected arms, to support individuals, elevate clinical practice, and strengthen community wellbeing in a way that is meaningful, ethical and sustainable.
