Dear
friends,
Since
September 11, the concept of "resiliency" has dramatically emerged
in the national dialogue. As we join in grief, soul-searching,
and a quest for guidance, there is also a recognition of the
innate human capacity to bounce back from and overcome even
such a great trauma as we are experiencing at this time.
At
Resiliency In Action, we want to share the important
research-based information about how people (and families and
communities of all types and sizes) can be resilient.
In
other words, we want to share how individually and collectively
we can come out of this awful experience with more wisdom,
more hope and compassion, and more inner strength.
The
good news is that there are specific, practical steps-drawing
on and adding to what you already know and do-you can take to
increase your personal resiliency, as well as the resiliency
of those you love, your community, and your nation.
To
receive a free copy of "Four Steps to Resiliency: How
to Help Those You Care About and Yourself Bounce Back from Adversity",
just send us a stamped self-addressed envelope.
Mail
it to Resiliency In Action; P.O. Box 1433, Ojai, CA 93023.
Additionally,
I personally invite you to post your resiliency
concerns/questions/experiences on our forum
page so that we can collectively help each other
to outpicture resiliency, personally and professionally,
at this time.
Sincerely,
Nan
Henderson, M.S.W.
President
Resiliency In Action
