Abstract
This session introduces how two transformative resilience programs, USOPM's Becoming Your Personal Best: Life Lessons from Olympians and Paralympians (BYPB) and UCCS's Greater Resilience Information Toolkit (GRIT), when combined as the Team STRONG program, offer support to positively impact our rural youth, families, schools, and communities. Team STRONG focuses on the development of healthy, strong, and supportive relationships in the lives of our children and the adults that support them. BYPB teaches resiliency skills to youth via the powerful stories of Olympians and Paralympians. GRIT is designed to harness the power of the community surrounding our youth to provide every child a support system of trusted adults, emphasizing resilience.
