"Resilience is critical is overcoming stressful situations, which the youth of West Philadelphia encounter often."
Philly Peace in Progress
Teaches youth impacted by violence how to deal with the obstacles they encounter throughout life. The skills they learn will help them not only resolve conflicts more healthily, but also build resilience. Resilience allows people to thrive even under tumultuous circumstances and can determine if one succeeds or fails.
