Resources for Resilience™ is Offering NC Residents Virtual Listening Hours as a Way to Improve One’s Mental Health During COVID-19


Resources for Resilience understands that this is a time of significant worry and uncertainty for many. As communities continue their efforts to keep people physically and emotionally healthy during the time of COVID-19, this agency is offering virtual listening hours to foster resilience during this stressful time. These listening hours are available for FREE to all North Carolina residents through the generosity of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. 

What is a listening hour?

Listening hours are an online forum where you can connect with other adults and talk about what is stressful for them right now. Our trained facilitators then offer concrete tools designed to help you de-stress and highlight what may help you get through this time of difficulty.

"Hearing others describe what is hard for them right now and watching them learn to reset by sharing their joys made me feel normal and helped me stay the course."
