3 Hour(s)

Today communities exist in a rapidly changing environment where uncertainty has become the norm. A sense of purpose, optimism, conviction, goal direction and a belief in a bright future is essential for community leadership and advocacy for constructive connectedness in a fragmented society. This course presents a framework of resilience for the community leader’s facility to smooth progress of wide-ranging development of capacities that build strengths to decrease civic ignorance, find support for opportunities to expand boundaries and diminish or overcome risks • (e.g., capacities for social awareness, constructive communication, problem-solving and vision making). This facility includes fostering help-seeking skills for economic development, partnerships, task-mastery, planning and implementation with cultural flexibility, empathy, caring and adaptive distancing from negative messages and conditions.
