From foster care to resiliency​

​There are more than 15,000 youth in  foster care in AZ Foster care tax credit

The number of youth currently in care in the State of Arizona is enough to fill a small soccer stadium..

40% will experience homelessness within 18 months of leaving care

Far too many youth "age out" (leave the system) without the tools and skill set needed to be successful adults. ResilientMe works with youth on increasing their coping skills, critical thinking and of course their level of resiliency. This increases the likelihood that they live healthier, happy lives as adults.

ResilientMe's prevention addresses the youth's needs

We properly prepare youth to successfully transition out of foster care and into adult life. We provide fun, interactive and engaging workshops to assist individuals in increasing their resiliency, which enables them to have a more productive, healthy life. Our Certified Clinical Trauma Specialists facilitates each one-hour long, ten-week workshop to participating youths. Our programming currently reaches approximately 200 youths in foster care.
