What is "Resiliency"?

The truth about resiliency, is there is no common definition. Here at Kitsap Strong - and in the spirit of The Science of Hope - we know resiliency to be more than just “bouncing back”. It’s about every individual being capable of thriving through their trauma with accessibility to equitable resources and a supportive, open-armed community.

Kitsap Strong's Annual Resiliency Summit

October 24th, 2025 | 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST | Kiana Lodge

The Resiliency Summit is a hope-filled experience in connecting, learning, and growing together to strengthen our community!

 

Resiliency isn't about rugged independence, it is about interdependence, inclusion, empathy, and the vulnerability necessary to form healing relationships.
