We’ve shared art, stories, meals, and meaningful conversations together through our various Resilience Rising efforts. Now we’d love to hear from you!

If you’ve participated in any Resilience Rising sessions so far - including our Rural Resilience Studio sessions with The Church Project, Hearts & Minds collaboration sessions with NAMI, or our Resilience Record oral history effort - please take a few minutes to complete our participant feedback survey.

Your reflections help guide what we build next and ensure this work continues to meet our community where it’s at.

This Valley has a voice and we would like you to share yours.

Happy Monday, folks! We’re kicking off the week by reintroducing the Resilience Record — a community storytelling project inviting people across the San Luis Valley to share their voices, experiences, and resilience.

How it works:
1️⃣ Call 844-SLV-TALK (844-758-8255)
2️⃣ Share your story (up to 3 minutes) — a challenge you’ve faced, what gives you strength, or what resilience means to you

That’s it. Your voice becomes part of a growing collective record celebrating the courage and creativity of our amazing Valley. No pressure. No perfect words required. Just your story, in your voice.

REMINDER: Today is our monthly San Luis Valley Caregiver Support Group session from 10:30AM-11:30AM at the RGH Wellness Center. If you are caring for a loved one with Dementia, Parkinson's, or a Chronic Condition, we are here to help you.

Our second Hearts and Minds session takes place this Tuesday, December 9 at 5:30PM and invites you to learn more about the benefits of healthy sleep habits.

In the rush of day-to-day life, sleep is often the first thing we let slip — but it’s also one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting our health and well-being. Sleep isn’t just “down time.” It’s an active, essential process where the body and brain repair, restore, and reset.
