Abby’s Impact: Realizing Resilience

The Abby’s Impact: Realizing Resilience program classes are not being offered at this time.

Abby’s Impact: Realizing Resilience is a client-centered mental health education program open to anyone 14 years or older. The program provides education and resources to facilitate resilience and combat toxic stress, encouraging all participants to build individualized mental health toolboxes. Abby’s Impact encourages individuals and families to establish coping and problem-solving skills to address adversity or trauma and reduce the likelihood of mental health challenges.

Participants work with program staff for in-depth support alongside group programming to promote individual growth, increase resilience, build a peer support system, and aim to live healthier lives.

All courses are currently offered virtually. The Introductory Course must be completed before all other courses.

Program Structure

Abby’s Impact has one introductory course and four core themes, under which all other courses fall within. Participants can design their own pathway through the courses in the program, though it is recommended that they complete at least one within each theme:

Sense of Self
Self in Time
Self & Others
Self in the World

Introductory Course: Introduction to resilience and toxic stress

Completion of the course is required before registering in all other Abby’s Impact classes.
