Resilience
Our Resilience Program ensures that children with disabilities will find healing for their hearts. The invisible scars on the hearts of these children may prevent them from thriving in their community, even after medical care. The Resilience Program helps build their sense of self-worth, and reminds them of their abilities, future and value.

How does it work?
Children and teens who are resilient are able to use their strengths and talents to positively cope with and recover from problems and challenges. Resilience is a skill that can be taught. Simple words of encouragement and support from people like you reinforce that they are accepted, valued and have a bright future.
