Team

The Resilience Institute is currently in its early stages of growth, collaborating closely with team members from FSU's Center for Prevention and Early Intervention Policy (CPEIP) and the Institute for Family Violence Studies (IFVS), who played a crucial role in initiating and nurturing our institute, originally known as the Trauma and Resilience Collaborative.

RISE Advisory Board- we are developing an international advisory board to advance the goals of The Resilience Institute.  The members of this board will be announced in 2025.
