How it Began
The Resiliency Initiative was created by a partnership of Wisconsin based nonprofits, agencies and businesses in response to the growing problem of substance use disorder and mental health concerns in the community.
Intersectionality
The initiative recognizes that these issues are often interconnected, and that people who are struggling with a single health issue are more likely to struggle with the others. The Resiliency Initiative aims to address all of these issues in a comprehensive way, in order to help people achieve long-term recovery.
The Science
The RCI score is a number from 1 to 100, with a higher score indicating a greater level of resiliency capital. The Resiliency Initiative uses the RCI to track clients’ progress over time and to identify areas where they may need additional support. The RCI can also be used to tailor interventions to meet the individual needs of each resident.
Building relationships with local heroes to provide programs and services that build resiliency…
The Resiliency Initiative is a program designed to provide wrap-around care for community members struggling with substance use disorder, mental health concerns, and other co-occurring issues. The program provides access to treatment, sober living, and peer support.
