The Resilience of a Small Town in Kansas

Social support is a vital cushion to mitigate the impact of traumatic events. Social support is associated with lower levels of post-traumatic stress disorder and typically contributes to faster and more robust recovery after exposure to trauma (Evans, 2012). We can do much as a society to mitigate the loss of life, and perhaps there is also more we can do to improve social support in the wake of natural disasters.

Laois becomes home to first public community eBike Library in the midlands

“I am delighted with the interest shown to borrow the bikes and the support that it will give the entire community for leisure, recreation, short journeys, business trips, and the exercise and fitness value. When bikes are shared across families, schools, and clubs, the impact grows. A child cycling to school or a coach biking to training can shift how a community sees transport - it fosters and creates a cycling environment. And when these habits stick, they shape future generations, especially if the cycling infrastructure is provided.”

Right in Our Backyard: Community-Based Organizations and the Potential to Build a New Democracy | Nonprofit Quarterly | Civic News. Empowering Nonprofits. Advancing Justice.

We are in a moment of crisis and potential. The promise of democracy, never fully realized, appears to be slipping away as rights are eroded and as people are disconnected from the civic sphere while living in a constant stream of misinformation. At the same time, organizations and people are gathering to determine how we can defend the democracy we know, and fight for one that's better. Masses of people mobilize for protests and small groups of neighbors fiercely protect one another, quickly developing new practices to keep each other safe in the face of government violence and repression.

While independence is “empowering” there's a “pernicious element too... It's sort of changing the culture around what we can expect from each other and particularly our neighbors,” Cox said.

I live in a fairly average town in Oxfordshire, and despite having friends and family nearby, I never felt as if I was properly a part of the community.

In my 30s, I got a dog, had children and started working from home. As a result, I spent a lot more time in my local area, but I still felt like an outsider.
