  2. What creates Community Resilience ? ‘Community resilience is generated by community members coming together to identify and use community resources and strengths e.g. voluntary groups, local businesses, parks, or buildings ….to help influence change in their community e.g. to gain more control over their wellbeing or manage their health and care support needs’

  3. East Sussex Community Resilience Programme • Aims to improve the health of local people through growing stronger and more resilient communities, using an asset based approach • Transforming how we all work with communities system-wide • Bringing together and building on existing local asset based approaches • Learning from research and experience elsewhere

  4. The Asset Based Approach

  5. Principles of an asset approach • Recognise assets: any resource, skill or knowledge which enhances the ability of individuals, families and neighbourhoods to create and sustain health and wellbeing. • Instead of starting with the problems, start with what is working, and what people care about. • Networks, friendships, self esteem and feelings of personal and collective effectiveness are good for our well-being.

  6. The story so far….. • ESBT and Connecting4You led, but Voluntary and Community Sector and wider partnerships key • Identifying priorities at a community level - Building Stronger Communitiescomprehensive engagement • Locality Link Workers – embedding prevention and community resilience in health and care teams • Applying asset approach within communities eg.
