WHO We Are

Stronger Together Inspiring Resilience

Because We are stronger together, STIR promotes healing, inspires resilience, shares social connections and celebrates the whole person through mind, body and spirit throughout Sherburne County.

5 Pillars of Resiliency:

Self Awareness
Self Care
Positive Relationships
Mindfulness
Purpose

WHAT We Are Going To Do

Working together we will strengthen the 5 pillars of resiliency: Self Awareness, Self Care, Positive Relationships, Mindfulness, and Purpose.

By strengthening these pillars, we in turn, become more resilient. Instead of experiencing an overwhelming downward spiral when we encounter stress in our lives, these five pillars work together to lift us up out of the chaos we are feeling. Obtaining and maintaining these skills takes practice.

We will build thriving individuals and communities that will:

REALIZE who they are and how they want to be seen
RECOGNIZE how to take care of themselves and others in order to function at their best even in challenging times
RESPOND by building relationships with all people and intentionally live in the moment
RESIST re-traumatization by building on passions and finding purpose.

HOW We Are Going To Get There

Positive Life Experiences
Being in nurturing supportive relationships
Living, playing and learning in safe, stable, protective and equitable environments.
Engaging and sharing in constructive social/civic activities that develop a sense of connectedness
Developing social and emotional competencies
