Mental Well-Being and Resilience Learning Community
SEPTEMBER 2017 - Red River Resilience: Expanding Community-Wide Understanding about Resilience
Strategic Focus: Expanding understanding about what creates mental health
Ellie McCann, MS, CFLE Associate Professor, Family Resiliency Center for Family Development, University of Minnesota Extension and Mark Ellingson, Board Certified Chaplain, Altru Health System
In the wake of a record-setting flood that threatened the Fargo-Moorhead area in 2009, government and non-government disaster response agencies joined forces to enhance community capacity for resilience to future flood threats. Red River Resilience was born and developed a simple, clear, and consistent message based on resilience theory. Partner agencies have been spreading this message and tools ever since. The FACTS of Resilience message was developed by Red River Resilience (RRR) members and shared throughout the community using multiple methods to build individual resilience. Since the flooding has subsided, RRR members have share The FACTS of Resilience message with a variety of family groups that are in transition. Learn about these efforts to see how it may apply to your work and community. http://www.redriverresilience.com/
