The resilience and recovery of individuals and communities depends on social connection and working together. Using the Tamarack Institute's Asset-based Community Recovery Framework, this workshop challenges us to consider how COVID-19 has disrupted our communities, what has emerged, and what has been revealed by recognizing gifts, fostering connections, and telling stories. This framework is a different disaster recovery model because it is a bottom-up approach. It allows individuals, associations, organizations/non-profits, businesses, and municipalities to think about what role people and communities play moving forward.
Share your ideas and successes with us.
Contribute your voice, experiences, and lessons learned to this workshop! Engage in practicing connection and collaboration while creating a shared resource we can all use in our work with families and address the challenges we face from multiple perspectives.
Through this workshop you can discover the assets and capacities of your community to make our military families more resilient and aid in their recovery after a disaster.
