Patients and Families
FOP impacts the entire family — it isn't restricted to stressing the individual with FOP. The Resilient Living program focuses on the emotional well-being of families — including siblings, caretakers, spouses and partners — giving them the skills to be able to bounce back from the challenges they face in life. Learn strategies of how to approach FOP and its challenges in a way that is productive rather than feeling helplessness.
Watch the Intro to Resiliency Webinar
Learn about the 10 facets of resilience that serve as the foundation of the Resilient Living program and future opportunities to benefit from this IFOPA program. The webinar was presented by Hayley Stolzle, Resilience Program Coordinator at Turning Point and Hope Newport, Family Services Manager at the IFOPA.
