This handbook describes the five foundational protective factors Transformational Resilience Coordinating Networks (TRCNs) should emphasize in their strategies to build population-level (universal) mental wellness and transformational resilience for the climate-ecosystem-biodiversity (C-E-B) crisis.
After they have established a formal steering committee with a mission, vision, and operating principles to guide their operations, members of “Prospective” TRCNs can use the information described here to learn what their strategies should emphasize.
Members of “Emerging” TRCNs can use this Handbook to develop their strategies to build population-level mental wellness and transformational resilience.
Members of “Commissioned” TRCNs can use the information provided in this Handbook to continually evaluate and improve their strategies and action plans.
The Handbook includes a number of links to resources that might be helpful to a TRCN. It is not possible, however, to include links to every resource that might be useful in your neighborhood and community. We therefore urge you to get on the web, talk with local residents and professionals, and in other ways investigate resources that are likely to resonate with the populations and sectors your TRCN intends to serve.
Much like the other handbooks provided to help guide TRCNs, this one includes a good deal of information that is likely to be new to many people. We therefore encourage TRCN members to read one section at a time slowly and with intention, discuss the content with others members, and make sure everyone understands the principles and practices that are discussed. When TRCN members believe they have a sufficient understanding of the information, they can move to the next section and repeat the process. No matter how it is done, we urge everyone involved with a TRCN to read this Handbook.
