There may be a lot of different paths to healing, but the overriding question for The Resiliency Center founder and director Elizabeth Venart is always the same: “How can we help people to be resilient in their lives?”

“We don’t have control over the fact that a lot of these things happen,” Venart said. “Resiliency is that ability to bounce back when life gets challenging, when life throws you a curve ball.”
