THE NEVADA RESILIENCE PROJECT

The Nevada Resilience Project supports families and individuals experiencing struggles and challenges due to COVID-19.

We are all trying to balance different challenges right now. It’s normal to be experiencing difficulty with adapting to the new challenges of managing work, school, family, or home due to COVID-19, feeling isolated or anxious, or worried about meeting basic needs like having enough food or access to healthcare.

In this challenging time, you are not alone.

Click on the teal bar below to be connected with a Resilience Ambassador. Your Ambassador can provide support and connection to resources over the phone, through text and video-chat, or face to face. We offer bilingual access to services; assistance navigating to needed resources in your community; and help to reduce stress, build coping skills, and develop a resilience plan.
