Episode Description
Rev. Lesley Carroll has dedicated her life to the pursuit of peace and reconciliation. To her, this mission is a lifelong calling. Her efforts extend beyond the borders of Northern Ireland, as she has been instrumental in fostering dialogues for peace and reconciliation in regions such as Rwanda, Nigeria, Kosovo, and Croatia. She was the past Prison Ombudsman for Northern Ireland. She now serves as the Assistant Commissioner for investigations: Support Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery. In these challenging times for our global community, Rev.

Inspired by her experiences, Rev. Carroll introduced the Community Resiliency Model to Northern Ireland.

Resiliency Within
Monday at 1 PM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
Elaine Miller-Karas will amplify the message of hope, healing and resiliency she has learned from our world community as she has traversed the globe after human made and natural disasters. Hope often springs forth in response to suffering and trauma. Our beliefs and our wellbeing are being challenged during these unprecedented times.
The program Resiliency Within is about cultivating individual and community resiliency. Resiliency is the capacity to lean into our strengths with compassion during the most challenging of times and to remember "what else is true?" about our lived experience.
Her guests are inspiring global leaders actively promoting healing and resiliency from a variety of backgrounds. The goal is to spread wellbeing and give individual and community examples to inspire how wellness skills, including ones based upon neuroscience and the biology of the human nervous system, can be integrated into one's life, family and community during challenging times.
