In keeping with our 30th anniversary theme of Resilience through Connection, we’re excited to have Dr. Michael Ungar, Ph.D., Canada Research Chair in Child, Family and Community Resilience, present A Guide to the Individual and Community Resources that Count.
Throughout this fast-paced, story-filled presentation, Dr. Ungar will show that resilience is much more than our personal capacity to overcome adversity. Rather, it is a reflection of how well individuals, families, service providers and communities work together to create opportunities for people to find the resources they need for well-being while making those resources available in ways that people experience as meaningful.
Following the presentation, attendees will have the chance to ask questions, and comment on resilience in their own communities.
In addition to our keynote speaker, Community Links will present its Annual Report, proposed slate of Directors for 2022-2023, Financial Statement and updates from Board and Staff.
This meeting is free and open to all.
Voting is limited to registered Community Links members.
We hope to see you there!
