Resilience Isn’t Just Personal—It’s Professional Survival
If you work on the frontlines—supporting kids, families, patients, students, or communities—you already know resilience isn’t optional.
But what if we’ve been thinking about resilience the wrong way?
In our latest podcast episode, I sat down with Kerry Cavers, founder of Moms Against Racism, to talk about how “resilience” has become a loaded word. For many, especially in BIPOC communities, it implies that more hardship is needed to become strong. That suffering builds character.
But at CAMP, we define resilience differently.
It’s not about enduring more.
It’s about belonging more.
When frontline workers feel connected, valued, and supported—they can show up with calm, confidence, and clarity. That’s what being full from within means.
🧠 The Neuroscience
Belonging and psychological safety reduce cortisol, support executive functioning, and help regulate emotional responses in high-stakes situations. In short—belonging protects your brain and your heart.
But in many systems, staff are burned out. Overloaded. Questioning if they can keep doing the work they once felt called to.
That’s why we’re building something different.
Not reactive support, but proactive care.
Not just for your clients or students—but for you.
