Building Resilience, one mind at a time

The Red Door Resilience Project addresses an exigency that the Covid 19 pandemic and its psychological fallout has thrown into sharp relief- the need to systematically prepare young people for an increasingly volatile and unpredictable future. 

The idea of equipping individuals with competencies that would safeguard them from debilitating emotional distress when faced with adversity was born during TRD’s decade-long work in the area of mental health. 

The Resilience Project emerges from, and builds on this idea. Drawing from the best of Resilience science, the program focuses on enhancing psycho-social fitness through experiential learning techniques in a module-based format.

 

A systemic approach to Resilience

The program approaches resilience from a systemic perspective, recognising that relationship networks and social institutions have as crucial a role to play in facilitating resilience as innate capacity. 

Therefore, while we prioritise the nurturing of individual resilience, we are as committed to creating an ecosystem that enables empathetic connections and a sense of purpose in the young, allowing them to consolidate their own capacity for resilience while helping others build theirs.

The courses we offer through The Red Door Resilience Project are compliant with guidelines from The Resilience Research Centre, Halifax, Canada and MGIEP, UNESCO.

 

Our courses are:
