Resiliency
When it feels like life has more downs than ups, Stark County organizations are available to help build resiliency. This important life skill can help young people bounce back from life’s challenges without the same risk for anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions later in life. Get started with local mental health and resiliency resources today.
What is resiliency?
After a traumatic experience, many young people have trouble coping and end up facing additional challenges, including depression, anxiety, substance use and more. Resiliency helps these young people develop strengthening skills so they are able to bounce back from difficult and traumatic events.
