Resiliency Resources! (And Other Cool Stuff)

With the conference over it is now time to get to work and use the knowledge gained to keep working on building resiliency in schools. Here are some links that might help:

• Information on the Sudbury & District Health Unit’s Can You Feel It? campaign


• Dr. Hammond’s Resiliency Initiatives organization


• Information about Youth Engagement Programs


• Information on Dr. McVey’s work on disordered eating can be found here, here, and here
