Community Resilience
Community resilience is the collective ability of a community to respond to, withstand, and recover from adverse situations. It encompasses the strength of social networks, the capacity for mutual aid, and the shared sense of responsibility among community members to support one another during times of crisis.
Wellbeing, Resilience, and Life Expectancy
At the heart of our mission is the improvement of wellbeing, resilience, and life expectancy. We believe that by fostering a sense of connection, meaning, and learning, we can build stronger, more resilient communities.
Core Values
Learning: Continuous learning is fundamental to personal and community growth. We provide opportunities for both formal and informal education, fostering a culture of curiosity and development.
Community: We aim to build a strong sense of community where individuals feel connected, valued, and supported.
Resilience: Our programs are designed to build resilience, helping individuals and communities to adapt to and thrive amidst life's challenges.
Tolerance and Acceptance: We promote tolerance and acceptance, ensuring an environment free from prejudice. We embrace change, reflect on our practices, and strive for equality, staying connected and having fun in the process.
Vision and Purpose: We help individuals find their vision and purpose, fostering a sense of belonging, spirituality, identity, friendship, togetherness, and equality.
Achieving Outcomes: We focus on achieving outcomes while fostering personal growth. Our programs enhance resourcefulness, confidence, interpersonal and transferable skills, and equality, all while ensuring the experience is enjoyable.
Engagement: We encourage engagement with others, society, and the world. Our approach emphasizes inter-dependency, equality, reciprocal relationships, and fun.
Our Approach
Through a series of staged interventions, our communities reconnect with their passions, remember their power, realize access to a wealth of assets, discover meaning and purpose, and become resilient and self-sustaining.
Our approach results in:
Changing and Empowering Lives: Being better than well, engaging with the world and each other, creating new life, longer life, and exciting, healthier life.
Sustainable, Independent Community: Building a community with new horizons and greater expectations of life.
Discovering Potential: Helping individuals discover their potential, learn new skills, and build resilience.
