What makes us different?

we are the only research-based and trauma-informed resilience organization in Arizona.

What makes us different, makes us better!
ResilientMe is recognized as the industry leader because of our ability to prioritize youth from foster care and successfully guide their transition to strong and resilient young adults.
ResilientMe’s curriculum was developed and is guided by founder Naketa Ross, who is an alumna of foster care.
​She knows firsthand how painful and difficult it can be to face the world alone at the age of 18.
​Her unique perspective allows these young adults to connect with her point of view because she understands and empathizes with their challenges.
​She is a teacher, mentor, friend, and guide to a successful adult life. 
​ ​

ResilientMe’s one-of-a-kind, transformative curriculum uses scientifically sound resilience methods to help youth overcome childhood trauma.

​ResilientMe’s personal resilience curriculum builds sound problem-solving skills, teaches youth how to Identify unhelpful thought patterns, belief systems, emotions, and actions.

Our program is extraordinarily different in the following ways:

• We provide fun, interactive workshops that focused on providing practical life skills.
• We ensure that we are providing relevant skills and tools that youth need.
•  We collect data at the beginning of our program and again at the completion.
• This data collection allows us to provide services that are beneficial to our participants.
• We listen to your community when doing community work.
• our priority is on providing youth from foster care a fully loaded toolbox to navigate life’s challenges and pave the way for success​.
