Community resilience can help overcome ACEs [union-bulletin.com]

October is Resilience Awareness Month

What does the word “resilience” mean, and why do we dedicate a month to promoting this word?

Simply stated, it means being flexible and adapting to change, like a tree bends in the wind or a rubber band stretches.

For humans, it means learning to build our toolbox of skills for managing our emotions. It is staying regulated. It is teaching our children and students how to identify, name and manage their feelings. It is how to develop hope and mastery of other lifelong skills.

In short, it is how we do a better job of being human together, and caring for each other when we each need help to be our best.
