NDCPD invites you to join the free Resilience Through Connection ECHO series! Strong relationships are essential for good health, yet many people, especially those with disabilities, experience loneliness and isolation, which can harm their well-being.
The Resilience Through Connection ECHO® aims to provide a deep exploration of the various factors that impact social connection and the predictors of loneliness. Sessions will be tailored with strategies to increase life skills, resilience, and foster a sense of connectedness for people with disabilities and individuals with poor mental health. This includes enhancing knowledge of protective factors against suicide, supporting grief, emphasizing the importance of social connectedness, and raising awareness of ND resources and activities that promote a sense of belonging.
The Resilience Through Connection ECHO® aims to:
Highlight the health impacts associated with loneliness among people with disabilities and individuals with poor mental health, while acknowledging the additional risk factors inherent in the intersectionality of this target population.
Provide evidence-based strategies to increase protective factors against social isolation.
Equip the target population with coping techniques and problem-solving skills based on best practices.
Connect participants with North Dakota resources to enhance connections to friends, family, and community support.
