What is ReST?
ReST stands for “Resilience Strength Time,” and is a peer-facilitated conversation where participants share difficult experiences, listen to each other, feel understood, and empathize. As a safety measure, everyone is expected to appear on camera. We recommend participants find a quiet, private space where they can join the zoom session.
