In response to feedback on the famous family-comedy, “Instant Family,” Unbelievably Resilient launched in 2020 and is composed entirely of young adults who spent time in foster care. Unbelievably Resilient challenges powerful systems to listen to individuals who have personally experienced foster care to create powerful change. Our mission is to empower current and former youth in foster care to reclaim their narratives by authentically sharing their own journeys of moving from trauma to triumph.

Trauma doesn’t
break us.

It rebuilds
us.

Every scar is a story. Every story can inspire. This is the voice of those who did not give up.

Unbelievably Resilient Keynote

What are the key elements of transforming trauma to triumph? What is the recipe for resilience? Why do stories of trauma often take the stage over the stories of triumph? How do these stories impact the work of the child welfare system? How do we authentically share foster care stories without contributing to stigmas and stereotypes about system-involved individuals?

Unbelievably Resilient's speakers will unpack their personal experiences of resilience and share why words matter, the stories we share matter, and how we can amplify stories of trauma to triumph in authentic ways.

TOTY AND MARID

Many of us who have gone through the foster care or adoption system are still searching for identity, belonging, and healing.

Your support turns that search into strength.
