"Resilience in Health Humanities":​
In a time when conversations about health, ethics, and humanity can feel difficult or even unwelcome, resilience reminds us why those conversations must persist. It asks us to continue engaging with stories of care, suffering, and justice, even when doing so feels uncomfortable or uncertain. It is the commitment to keep asking questions, keep listening, and keep human connection at the center of health.
