Building resiliency through building community
or not resilient. Strong, flexible communities help individuals respond
with their best in tough times. A community can be your school, group of
friends, ROTC unit, neighborhood, church, or workplace. People who devote
time in helping others often find that others are there for them when they
need it. Membership in religious and community service organizations is
associated with long-term happiness and better physical health.
The purpose of Project CURB is to help you grow as a person in a community.
While we use the Internet as a way to help you learn and we know that it is
possible to see the World Wide Web as a kind of community, we also hope
that you will take these lessons into your everyday living.
