Act Resilient
Sometimes laughter is the best medicine
Do not walk alone...
Pain and hardship can be left behind
Find friends and allies on your journey
Renewed courage and joy lie ahead
Take the path to restored resilience
Loved ones are are waiting, return to them...
...RETURN STRONGER
An innovative, unique, and novel approach
to personal growth and social well-being

Founder of Act Resilient
The Act Resilient Program incorporates methods and techniques used in improv comedy, theater games, and team-building workshops, establishing a fun, supportive, and collaborative environment.
Participants who normally experience social inhibitions feel safe to express themselves in new ways, learning to identify and acknowledge their sources of stress, and channel their strong and often uncomfortable emotions in positive ways.
In 2010 Act Resilient was developed as a therapeutic program to assist military service members and families explore new ways to face the unique stresses that are a part of the military lifestyle. Since then, over 4000 lives have been touched and have found renewed hope through the Act Resilient Program.
