Our topic this month is: "Fostering Resilience After Loss"
The American Psychiatric Association defines resilience as the process of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences by altering behaviors, thoughts, and actions --skills that you can learn.
There’s no playbook for grief. But time and again, we’ve seen our members grow through grief --by building connections, fostering wellness, practicing healthy thinking, taking control, finding purpose or meaning, and seeking support when needed.
To deepen this month’s conversation, the Topic Committee recommends listening to Dawn's Video and reading the following articles:
