We need community more than ever.

That’s a big part of why we started Roots of Resiliency. We want to help build a community where families can have their needs met, build long-term resiliency, and find support before they reach a breaking point.

So around these parts, we show up.
We help when we can.
We let people need us (without shame, guilt, or judgment)
And we remember that someday, we might be the ones who need someone else.

So we made a shirt to say exactly that. A little whimsy with a pretty important message.

Every shirt helps support the work of Roots of Resiliency. 92% of our participants tell us they literally have nowhere else to get the diapers they need.

So wear a little whimsy.
Support your community. Be part of the (resilient) village. 🪿🤎

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: CHECK YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. 🚨

Go look at your bank account and find that streaming service you forgot you were paying for.

You know the one.

You haven’t watched it in 8 months, but somehow they’re still getting $14.99 from you every month. You signed up for a free trial so you could watch that one movie that your kids wouldn't stop talking about... 🙃

Cancel it. Fund a family instead.

Our Undercover Pantry currently has 5 AMAZING monthly donors, and we are trying to find 25 more. ❤️

Monthly donations help us keep diapers, wipes, and period products available for local families who need them. Even a small monthly gift makes a difference because we can actually count on it month after month.

So… cancel the subscription you forgot about and put that money somewhere it actually helps someone. 😉

👉 Become a monthly donor:

“You are never stuck. None of us are ever done growing. You don’t have to believe the narratives you’ve been fed — if you don’t like it, you can change the narrative,” shares Dr. Jennie Rosier, JMU SCOM faculty member for who has also teaches in JMU’s Adult Degree Program.

In this episode of Being the Change, Jennie shares how her research on relationships, love, and happiness helps students rewrite old stories and build healthier connections.

When a tragedy like this happens, it can leave children, parents, educators, and families feeling scared, overwhelmed, angry, or simply unsure of what to do next. You do not have to navigate those feelings alone.

Our clinicians have specialized training in EMDR, including recent-event protocols and play therapy, allowing us to support both children and adults as they process difficult experiences in ways that feel safe and appropriate for them.

We are offering support virtually or in our office, have evening openings, and are available right now.

Whether you were directly affected, your child is struggling with what they’ve heard or seen, or you are simply finding that today has brought up more than you know how to process, we are here.

Please reach out if we can support you or someone you love. 🤍

Drum roll please!!! The new Kids Castle will open on Tuesday, September 1 at 10:00am! This is a huge milestone in the decades-long story of this playground.

We’ll start with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 1 at 10:00am, which is when the playground will officially open.

Then, on Thursday, October 15 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, celebrations will continue with a Fantasy Faire: an evening of playing, mixing potions, digging for treasure, adopting dragons, decorating crowns, and feasting on cotton candy (served atop unicorn horns, of course). Mystical, magical, wild, and whimsical costumes are highly encouraged for all ages!

We know September 1 is still about three weeks away, and that the playground already *looks* nearly complete, but between working on finishing touches, doing safety checks, and building a riparian buffer (to protect the nearby stream and environment), every one of these weeks is needed to make it the best possible place for childhoods to come. Thanks for your patience—we know how excited everyone is (including us!) to get out there and play.

We’ll share more celebration details later on (including a parking plan for the Fantasy Faire), but for now, we’re just excited to share the good news: Kids Castle is almost ready to welcome you back!

Kids Castle will be at Purcell Park
