Pathways to Resilience
The intersection of science and practice
We are a non-profit committed to helping communities and individuals heal from trauma by sharing science-based insights in order to promote and cultivate resilience. We believe what is predictable is preventable and that resilience trumps adversity.
Products
At CRI, we believe in the beauty of learning. We also believe that you are never too old to learn something new! The CRI shop is filled with products for learning & teaching.
Community
Community engagement is one of the pillars of CRI's work. Our goal is to empower communities and individuals through innovative resilience-based strategies.
Building
Resilience is not something we are born with or learned overnight. Rather, we view resilience as an action, a verb. Building resilience begins with learning the science.
