The Resilience Project
The Resilience Project by Joe Goode Performance Group aims to promote mind-body connection through movement and story-sharing classes for Bay Area veterans. The ongoing Movement for Humans classes, open to all interested veterans, VA social workers, and staff, will be hosted at the SF Downtown Veterans Clinic and partnering veteran housing locations. Additionally, 15-minute Movement for Humans sessions will be offered online for Northern California VA staff members. The classes are designed to be adaptable for all bodies and levels of mobility and will focus on promoting well-being through easeful movement and embodied expressivity. The program aims to provide critical social networks and reconnection with comprehensive services available at the center for veterans who experienced a loss of support networks during the pandemic.
