🌿 Spiritual Resilience
🎄🕎Character, Meaning, and Preparedness Disasters disrupt more than infrastructure. They disrupt meaning, routines, identity, and the stories people rely on to make sense of the world. Learn more about resilience at Part 2: Psychology of Disasters: Resilience and Recovery post.
