The Family Resilience Handbook

About this class

In this workshop, we will dive deep into the stories of family resilience. Specifically, we will create a 6 x 8 album of how your family and its members have bounced back from various life challenges to move forward. Through four focused lessons, we will reflect on and describe your own family's history, establish your family's personal motto, and document family resilience through family interviews. 

Here is a look at each lesson: 

ONE | Family Defined // Who do you consider to be a part of your family? What activities connect you and your family members?

TWO | Resilience Timeline // What is resiliency? How have specific life events impacted who your family today?

THREE | Family Motto // What are your core family values + strengths that make up your family brand? What words best describe your family?

FOUR | Family Interviews // How do family members encourage everyday resilience right now?
