In times of uncertainty, whether global or close to home, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or powerless. But even in the most challenging moments, we each hold the ability to make an impact across our communities.
This session invites participants to reconnect with that power by focusing on what they can influence locally. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies for building personal and collective resilience, including community engagement, civic participation, mutual aid, and lessons drawn from the resilience practices of historically marginalized groups. Through reflection and interactive activities, participants will identify their areas of influence, assess their capacity for action, and begin developing personalized plans for contributing to community well-being.
By the end of the learning session, participants will be able to…
Identify at least one actionable strategy to become a more engaged and supportive member of their local community.
Understand the value of mutual aid and how to create or join networks that offer care, connection, and shared support.
Apply insights from historically marginalized communities that have built resilience in the face of systemic challenges to their own personal or collective practices.
