One week to go before the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation’s workshop on Nurturing Resilience, offered in partnership with the Mental Health Task Force of Polk County and Northwest Passage.
Why should you attend? Because we can all use more tools to aid us in helping those around us to thrive in this chaotic world. Come learn what resilience is and why it’s important. Learn how we can strengthen resiliency in ourselves and others.
When: February 28, 2019 from 1:00 – 4:00
Where: Polk County Government Center, East Conference Room (2nd floor), 100 Polk County Plaza, Balsam Lake, WI 54810
Cost: $10 per person
Registering and paying in advance ensures your place and helps us with planning:
- If you need to pay by check, please send it to: NACF, PO Box 111, Frederic, WI 54837. Please include the names of the individuals who will be attending the training from your organization.
This workshop is for nonprofits, teachers, law enforcement, county employees, healthcare workers, community leaders and the public to gain an understanding of resiliency and learn tools to address it. The event is open to anyone who wants to join the conversation.
You know what’s wicked cool about a progressive understanding of resilience?! It means that we have control over building/strengthening it in ourselves and in the people who we work with! It means that it’s not about hoping/praying that we are one of the lucky ones who happen to be resilient. We can actually work to create a more resilient world and everyone, I mean everyone, has access to the incredible phenomena of being a survivor instead of a victim!!!!!!!”
