In this fifth volume of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's
Culture of Health series, Community Resilience: Equitable Practices
for an Uncertain Future highlights the importance of resilience, or
the set of assets that allow a person or place to recover when
adversity hits, by illustrating the policies and stories of lived
experience surrounding health equity. Whether that adversity is
acute-such as an environmental disaster or an abuse of police
power-or chronic-such as that engendered by poverty and
racism-local innovation and community engagement are key to
nurturing resilience and promoting health equity. Community
Resilience positions storytelling and narrative shifts as essential
to influencing our perceptions of who deserves empathy or support,
and who does not, by examining the systemic barriers to resilience
and the opportunities to reshape the landscape to overcome those
barriers. The central message of this volume-across immigration or
imprisonment, opioids or trauma, housing or disaster
preparedness-is that we must act intentionally and allow a shift in
power in order to make progress.
