RESILIO ESTABLISHMENT
Why RESILIO was established
Resilio was established in 2018 as a voluntary organisation with a vision to develop and grow Hope at individual, community and organisational levels. The evidence has demonstrated that hope is a teachable subject and it is one of the strongest protective factors in reducing the risks of suicide and self–harm. It also supports the impact of ACE’S (Adverse Childhood Experiences)
The following gives a briefing on the activities to date and acknowledgement to individuals, communities and organisations that have supported us in our vision.

CHAIRPERSONS ADDRESS
Hello everyone,
It is my great pleasure to present the 2022/2023 Resilio Annual Report.
It is hard to believe that we are almost at the close of another year. In a year where we only seem to hear bad and sad news, we have our very own grown beacon of hope growing within the city and beyond. Links with University of Ulster have grown and developed, links with wider agencies and stakeholders have grown and the message of hope has gained even more momentum.
The wonderful team at RESILIO, both those who work behind the scenes and those who deliver on the ground, have been integral to delivering that hope and I would like to acknowledge the dedication and determination shown by all. The organisation is growing day by day and this couldn't happen without you all, your passion, your drive, your enthusiasm - your desire to make life better for others.
I would like to leave you with a quote from Desmond Tutu;
"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness".
Keep sharing that light.

DIRECTORS ADDRESS
It has been a productive years for Resilio. Our Hope family have worked extremely hard to continue to deliver our menu of training both locally, nationally and internationally. This annual report will capture not only the amount of training delivered but also its impact.
We are delighted to be the first organisation to begin to measure HOPE using adult hope scale. We pride ourselves on delivering programmes that are evidence based and can contribute to promoting mental health and suicide prevention
by equipping individuals, communities and organisations with knowledge, skills to maintain resilience and grow hope, during these very challenging times
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our Hope family for their commitment, care and compassion both for each other and the work they do.
RESILIO would never have achieved so much and to continue to grow so strong without the amazing hope family. I would also like to express my gratitude to our very committed Board members who help to guide the organisation in achieving it clear mission to grow hope for all.

PROGRAMMES DELIVERED
Hope Ambassador for Parents
We delivered 6 hope ambassador programmes targeting parents.
Hope Matters for Adults
Over 200 people availed of our Hope Matters training for Adults.
Hopeful Minds Facilitator Training
In this year we have trained over 50 facilitators to deliver the Hopeful Minds programme targeting children and young people.
Hope Matters in the Workplace
We delivered Hope Matters in the Workplace to a number of teams in workplaces. They felt that their staff were struggling both during the lockdown period of COVID and returning to work and they needed strategies for the staff to support their mental health.
Hope and Attachment Matters for new Parents
This was created to support new parents especially parents. This was developed by 2 of our Master Trainers and piloted to a group of parents in Surestart in Omagh. The programme was evaluated using the Adult Hope Scale and the findings have been very encouraging.
First Campus of HOPE
Resilio have been working with the North West Regional College and following their innovative Conference, work has begun to develop a road Map with the College to become the first Campus of Hope.

HOPE SCALE EVALUATION… A FIRST
Resilo are delighted to be the first organisation anywhere in the world to carry out a full evaluation measuring HOPE using the Adult hope scale.
Hope is defined as the perceived capability to derive pathways to desired goals, and motivate oneself via agency thinking to use those pathways. The adult and child hope scales that are derived from hope theory are described. Hope theory is compared to theories of learned optimism, optimism, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. Higher hope consistently is related to better outcomes in academics, athletics, physical health, psychological adjustment.
A 12-question Hope Measurement Tool determines the respondents’ level of hope. In particular the scale is divided into two subscales that comprise Snyder’s cognitive model of hope:
-
Agency (i.e. goal-directed energy)
-
Pathways (i.e. planning to accomplish goals)
Of the 12 items, 4 make up the Agency subscale and 4 make up the Pathways subscale. The remaining 4 items are fillers. Each item is answered using an 8-point Likert-type scale ranging from Definitely False to Definitely True.
