Envisioning a healthy community empowered to prevent the harmful use of substances

For Virginia’s 7th annual Resilience Week, we are focusing on building community and connection with 7 Stress Busters. Developed by ACEs Aware, the Stress Busters are seven ways you can manage your day-to-day stress as well as counter toxic stress from Adverse Childhood Experiences. In this resource, you will find links to information, guidance, and strategies for practicing each Stress Buster.

Resilience is built in relationship with others, with your environment, with yourself. These resources provide a starting place for how you can build resilience by caring for yourself and others and cultivating community connection. #ResilienceWeekVA
