"Resilience is a verb;
let's start using it!"
Theresa Barila is the co-founder and current CEO of the Children’s Resilience Initiative (CRI) based in Walla Walla, WA. CRI is part of the Walla Walla County Community Network, whose goal is to build capacity within the various partner agencies so the Walla Walla valley can have a unified approach when dealing with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Teri earned her MS in Fisheries Management and a BA in Biology, giving her a strong research background, which is crucial in her role with both CRI and the Community Network.
Teri is involved extensively in training, consulting, writing and researching in the area of trauma, resilience and community capacity building. Her work has attracted attention in a variety of venues, in part due to the focus Teri places on grassroots organizational development and the focus on the hope of Resilience.
