Frequently, what causes us the most stress comes from change that we have to meet head on. If we deny the difficulty of those changes, we may force our emotions into some hidden corner where they come out later as increased anxiety, illness or relationship problems. We can help you to understand family issues so you can make your own decisions. Colleen Jolly, Family Life Extension Specialist, reminds that It takes time to keep relationships strong. One of our core programs is Strengthening Families .
Resilient families spend time together.
The National Network for Resilient Families provides many resources that can help. Strong, resilient families share experiences with others. Build a circle of support. If we are too busy to listen and appreciate each other, we won't build the cohesiveness that helps hold us together in tough times. Strengthening Family Values is a joint responsibility.
