Cornell Cooperative Extension, together with the Orange County Resilience Project (OCRP), is hosting a free webinar on Tapping into Resilience on
Thursday, March 19th at 3 P.M. Everyone is Welcome!
About the OCRP:
The Orange County Resilience Project (OCRP) is a community coalition of representatives from various sectors, including schools, youth services, the library system, mental health, social services, human services, health care, local colleges, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Cornell Project 2Gen, faith-based leaders and members of the community at large. The mission of the OCRP rests on the acknowledgement of the impact of trauma and adversities on the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities. The OCRP therefore promotes resilience by increasing awareness and creating a supportive and inclusive community that provides opportunities for connection, safety and growth.
With Governor Andrew Cuomo’s declaration of a state of emergency to help increase public health safety, many individuals, families and communities are understandably experiencing higher levels of stress and concerns than usual. In collaboration with some of the community partners, the OCRP will be offering a webinar with strategies to boost personal as well as community resilience and ways that help buffer children from the stress that is all around them.

The webinar will be recorded and everyone registered will receive a list of resources following the webinar. To register, please visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/webinar-tapping-into-resilience-tickets-100017603344
