Resilient Lehigh Valley

In March, we celebrate National Social Work Month. ?? Social workers are critical to creating resilient communities by providing essential care and support to individuals and families. Their work requires compassion resilience—the ability to stay mentally, emotionally, and physically well while supporting others in need. We recognize and appreciate their dedication to building a stronger, more connected community.

#DYK reading is good for your mental health? ?? March marks National Reading Month and research shows that picking up a book can do more than expand your knowledge—it can also reduce stress by up to 68%. Whether you’re diving into a novel, listening to an audiobook, or revisiting an old favorite, prioritizing reading can help support a healthier, more balanced mind.

Led by Missy, participants from Turning Point of Lehigh Valley, CENTER FOR HUMANISTIC CHANGE INC, YWCA Bethlehem, Meals on Wheels and CASA GUADALUPE CENTER came together for a training to deepen their understanding of trauma’s impact on the brain, its development and resilience-building strategies. Creating a more trauma-informed community starts with education and action. To learn more and request a training, visit https://brnw.ch/21wRqNC ?? #ResilientLV

We kicked off March by hosting a #CompassionResilience workshop, in partnership with Bethlehem Area Public Library, where participants gained practical tools to support their well-being, build self-compassion and create self-care plans tailored to their needs. Serving as a caregiver—whether personally or professionally—comes with unique challenges. By understanding the drivers of fatigue and resilience, we can better support ourselves and others. Thank you to those who attended and engaged in this important conversation ?? #ResilientLV United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley

Parenting can be challenging and navigating tough conversations isn’t always easy. #ParentsOpenUpLV is a campaign featuring real parents and grandparents sharing how they build trust, communication, and resilience with their children. Through practical, real-life stories, these caregivers are opening the door to stronger connections—because parenting isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.
