Construindo resiliência - navegando em tempos difíceis.
Have you ever been there for someone who needed help? There is likely someone who would want to be there for you.
Buscar ajuda e pedir ajuda cria resiliência ao promover compreensão, conexões e explorar possíveis soluções.
In our nearly 50 years of service, we have learned reaching out to someone you trust is the first step to helping yourself. Reaching out is a sign of strength not weakness.
Who can you talk to?
- Entre em contato com alguém com quem você se sinta confortável para se abrir - talvez um familiar, amigo ou profissional.
- Entre em contato com alguém que já o orientou antes.
- Reach out to someone you admire.
What if the person you reach out to isn't available or doesn't seem the right connection? If first person you try to connect to isn’t available give them a chance or possibly find someone else to help. Resilience means not giving up until the right person is identified and possible solutions are explored.
