Dr. Johnson Benning and Patti continue to offer strategies for resilience building that speaks to where resilience meets intersectionality. Just like you can’t separate intersectionality and its psychological effects during a global pandemic and a contentious election, you can’t separate out building resilience. 

In an age where what seems simple is also radical, finding meaning in simplicity often requires a critical eye on what works, what doesn’t, and why. Dr. Johnson Benning creates the mental health nerd’s version of the hierarchy of needs and Patti discusses getting creative with building your resilience toolkit.
