THE NEVADA RESILIENCE PROJECT

The Nevada Resilience Project supports families and individuals experiencing struggles and behavioral health challenges. 

We are all trying to balance different challenges right now. It’s ok to not be ok, and to ask for help.

In this challenging time, you are not alone.

Motivation Thursdays with Mrs. Samuels

Amanda Samuels is a Licensed Therapist practicing in Las Vegas. She is proud to be married to someone working on the frontlines during this pandemic.
