empowerment. Serving eight adolescent females and two small children to
accommodate teenage mothers, Resilience Rising provides a long-term,
trauma-informed program wherein youth develop the coping and life skills needed
to break the inter-generational cycle of abuse and poverty that drives this
child welfare, public health, and human rights problem.
