Building Resilience Through Recovery

Recovery is an important goal for anyone who has experienced trauma. It uses a strengths-based approach and encourages the use of coping skills and community resources in four life areas: health, home, purpose and community. Accessing and using resources in these life areas helps clients cope with change, which is also known as building resilience (samhsa.gov/recover).
