Remarkably Resilient Together® Community Campaign

Remarkably Resilient Together® (RRT) is an innovative, evidence-informed, community-based campaign to raise awareness about trauma, healing, and resilience. “It takes all of us to heal each of us,” Kathleen, the eldest of the Harnish sisters and CEO of Remarkably Resilient, likes to say.

After the Harnish sister’s 2019 book “Remarkably Resilient Community Matters,” Kathleen realized that the community calls to action they wrote about needed a vehicle. RRT was born out of this recognition. Our campaign teaches individual resilience-strengthening skills through an innovative, scalable and easy-to-learn program designed with individuals and communities in mind.

RRT workshops and materials educate people about how trauma and stress impact the brain and body, and teach practical resilience-strengthening skills. This is important because unaddressed trauma and chronic stress can be a root cause of challenging behaviors seen in families, organizations and communities. RRT has been used in corporate wellness programs, corrections facilities, schools and community health programs. It is an innovative and empowering way to use funds designated for opioid and other substance use disorder programs.

Remarkably Resilient partners with community members and organizations to raise funds to bring our innovative, evidence-informed program to those that need it.

Together, we can change the world!

“One of the things I appreciated most about this training is that it acknowledges the emotional weight nurses carry every day. We are constantly caring for patients, supporting families, and managing high-pressure situations, often without taking time to care for ourselves. The RRT training offers practical strategies for regulation and self-care that can be used throughout the workday and beyond. It reminded me that taking care of myself is not selfish—it’s necessary. I would recommend this training to any nurse looking to build resilience and sustain their passion for the profession.”

“As a hospice nurse, I witness grief and loss every day. While it is an honor to care for patients and families at the end of life, the emotional impact of this work can accumulate over time and lead to compassion fatigue. What I appreciated most about this training was that it recognized that reality and offered both understanding and practical support. I felt seen not only as a nurse, but as a human being. The message that our well-being matters was powerful, and the tools provided will help me continue doing this meaningful work without losing myself in the process.”

“As the Nurse Planner for the Remarkably Resilient Together (RRT): Regulation and Self-Care nursing accreditation process I reviewed nursing literature in peer-reviewed journals that reinforced the importance of emotional regulation and self-care in healthcare systems. With the relentless demands, burnout, secondary trauma and compassion fatigue that are often present in our profession, learning the why and how of regulation and self-care are important human skills which help create a calmer, more engaging environment in which we can all thrive – employees and patients alike. These skills easily transfer to our personal lives helping us co-regulate family and friends who in return can co-regulate us.”

“As a registered nurse of 23 years, this training stood out to me because it puts the focus on the nurse, not on how to be a better caregiver for patients. The trauma-informed framework is solid, the explanations are clear, and the examples are real and relatable. What I appreciated most is that they give tangible, practical tools you can actually use in between patients, on a break, and outside of work. The section on self-care is handled thoughtfully and with real depth. If you’re a nurse who has ever felt like your own well-being comes last, this training sees you.”

The 5 Rs of Resilience

Remarkably Resilient, Inc. works to achieve our mission and vision through education, awareness and practical skills provided through our three service lines: Remarkably Resilient Together®, Lived Experience and Trauma-Informed Education.

These service lines were developed by drawing on the lived experience of the Harnish sisters, coupled with their intense study of the neuroscience of trauma, leading to the discovery of the 5 Rs of Resilience.

Empowering people to strengthen their resilience is key to each of our service lines and our mission. Each of the 5 Rs has a key lesson to convey.

Practice Regulation & Self-Care

Children who have experienced trauma, and adults who carry the scars of that trauma, often experience a feeling of being out of control in response to triggers that may not bother other people. Some may withdraw or “check out” for long periods of time only to explode for seemingly inexplicable reasons. Learning how to recognize this and self-calm, or emotionally regulate, during these moments is a critical tool for building resilience.

Resilience strengthening skill: Practice regulation and self-care
Community call to action: Teach emotional regulation to everyone

Understanding and Support

How we respond to survivors of trauma can either help them find a path to healing—or reinforce their trauma. Sometimes this is simply a matter of asking someone “What happened to you?” rather than the judgment-filled question, “What’s wrong with you?” Learn what lived experience informed by the science teaches us about trauma responses, coping mechanisms, and rediscovering your authentic self.

Resilience strengthening skill: Manage your trauma responses and examine your coping mechanisms
Community call to action: Respond with understanding and support

Embrace the Journey of Healing

Remarkably Resilient stresses over and again that recovery is a journey—not a destination—and that every person’s recovery is unique. The different recoveries each Harnish sister has had attests to this. We hope communities will provide people the “spaces, places, and graces” they need to understand and heal from the trauma they’ve experienced.

Community call to action: Provide the spaces, places and graces for recovery

Cultivate Your Ones

The Harnish sisters can attest to a fundamental principle backed by research into resilience: Healthy relationships are an essential part of the healing process. All it takes is ONE secure, significant, and consistently loving relationship to make a difference. Remarkably Resilient workshops help you explore ways to create these relationships.

Resilience strengthening skill: Cultivate your ones
Community call to action: Be the one

Implement an Intentional Pause

Often, we are so busy checking off our to-do lists and moving on to the next list that we miss the opportunity to build reflective capacity; that is, the ability to pause, step back, and reflect on the event, experience, interaction, or period of time. As a result, we may also miss the opportunity to gain a new perspective or insight that the reflective process can reveal.

Resilience strengthening skill: Practice the all-important intentional pause
Community call to action: Value the power of reflection

What’s next?

Since launching the RRT Community Campaign, we’re often asked “What’s next?” after someone attends a workshop or learns the materials.

RRT materials are designed to be self-study; that’s what makes them empowering. For those who learn best in conversations with others, here are some examples of how organizations continue on their journey:

  • Launch an RRT Reflection Group for people to share what they are practicing and learning.
  • Incorporate RRT into their employee and/or resident well-being programs.
  • Purchase the RRT materials through grants or other funding and provide them free to their community.
  • Create an RRT community within your organization and build action plans to implement the 5Rs into their culture.
  • Participate in our Train-the-Trainer Program, including a Facilitation Guide, tips, observations and feedback for facilitating an RRT workshop.

Contact us if you’d like help brainstorming and/or facilitating a “What’s next?” journey for your organization.
