Welcome to the Resiliency Project. This site is sponsored by the
Washington State Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to help public employees and their families cope, and hopefully thrive, in the "new financial reality."
Resilience is the ability to adapt to difficult situations, and bounce back. The Resiliency Project uses the power of community and the Internet to provide you and your family with information and resources to find positive outcomes in difficult times. Remember, you are your own best resource. Don't wait for things to get better; initiate change.
Note:
If you are a state employee visiting the Resiliency Project from work or with a state-owned computer, be advised that some some activities accessed from this site may not be admissible under your agency's de minimis use policy. If in doubt, check with your human resources office, or simply visit our site on your own time.
- Community Resources – connects you to a variety of resources that can be useful during tough times. (If you are aware of others that could be listed here, please e-mail us with your suggestions.)
- Lemonade - provides a collection of strategies for transforming your "lemons into lemonade." Consider trying out one, two, or more of these suggestions.
- Sharing Success - provides a platform where people can share their success stories and strategies.
- Adapting to a Changing World - periodic articles from the EAP. The current article explores the wisdom of lending money to family members. Past articles on various topics are also available.
The EAP believes that the strength of community and mutual support among family and friends help us weather hard times. We invite your contributions, participation, and feedback to help keep this site useful and up-to-date.
