Resilient Retreat Receives Funding for Furnishings

The Giving Coast

Resilient Retreat recently received funding from William G. and Marie Selby Foundation to provide furnishings for their under-construction retreat center for survivors of trauma, first responders and helping professionals. The grant will provide kitchen appliances, dining and bedroom furnishings for their residential retreat center slated to open in November 2022. Resilient Retreat provides free evidence-based programs to survivors of abuse, first responders and helping professionals. Advancements in neuroscience research reveal that witnesses to trauma may experience vicarious trauma, which can lead to PTSD and other visible symptoms. Abuse survivors and first responders often share similar underlying conditions. Covid-19 has exacerbated and already troubling situation with abuse rates on the rise and first responders and helping professionals pushed to work longer hours under heightened health risks. “We’re excited to be contributing to such a vital project for survivors of trauma and first responders and helping professionals to have a safe place to heal from the impacts of trauma," said Carol Butera, Executive Director of the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation.
