FOSTERING RESILIENCE: OUR MISSION
Resilience is the capacity to rise above difficult circumstances, allowing our children to exist in this less-than-perfect world, while moving forward with optimism and confidence.
Young people will be resilient when the important adults in their lives believe in them unconditionally and hold them to high expectations.
Parents, caretakers, and adults who care can prepare children and teens to thrive through both good and challenging times.
