Fostering Resilience

Cultivate resilience in your self and your community

About This Initiative

We can adapt to these wild times

Commonweal programs embrace resilience in many dimensions, from inner to outer and from local to global. We provide trusted information, thoughtful reflections and practical tools. We want to help us all respond to emerging crises--and also affirm life and create the world we want to live in. Here are a few ways we are fostering resilience in our programs now.
