For many of us, the pandemic has taken a toll on our emotional well-being. That’s why the healthcare experts at BCBSRI created this Rhode to Resilience video series.

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from challenges. At BCBSRI, we think of resilience as having four elements: gratitude, sense of purpose, connection, perspective. In these videos, our doctors and care managers help you build your own resilience.
