Our Story
The Resilience Network was founded by Elke Koessling, a Visibility Strategist with more than three decades of experience in public relations, communications and events, and Rebecca Miskin, a retired nurse who now supports people in improving their health and wellbeing through trusted recommendations.
lthough the network began locally, The Resilience Network is designed to connect people and practitioners worldwide. Wherever you are based, you are welcome here.
Together, we created The Resilience Network to bring together trusted information, inspiring stories and experienced practitioners in one place.
Our mission is simple:
- to help people discover trusted support when they need it
- to give practitioners a professional platform to build authority and share their expertise
- to create a trusted source of knowledge, connection and hope
The network began in the South West of England but was always intended to reach much further.
Today, The Resilience Network welcomes readers, contributors and practitioners from around the world who share our belief that resilience grows through knowledge, connection and the right support.
