Rethinking resilience: Lived experience, systems, and practical ways to cope

This session offers a reflective and practical exploration of resilience through lived experience.

Resilience is often understood as something individuals are expected to build on their own. However, lived experience shows that resilience is not only personal — it is shaped by the environments we work in, the systems we navigate, and the support we receive.

This session offers a reflective and practical exploration of resilience through lived experience. Drawing on personal insights and professional perspective, it will examine how individuals navigate complex health challenges while managing work, identity, and wellbeing.

Participants will be invited to reflect on their own experiences and gain practical approaches to coping that move beyond “pushing through,” toward more compassionate, realistic, and sustainable ways of supporting wellbeing.

Objectives:

  • Understand how resilience is shaped by lived experience and not only individual effort
  • Recognize the role of systems, environments, and supports in shaping wellbeing
  • Explore practical, accessible strategies to support resilience in daily life
  • Reflect on how individuals and workplaces can better support wellbeing

Alina Avram (she/her) is an Ottawa-based public servant and speaker who brings a lived experience perspective shaped by navigating significant physical health challenges and grief. She currently works as a Social Policy Advisor with Indigenous Services Canada, contributing to national education initiatives that support First Nations post-secondary students and communities. While her professional work is rooted in public policy, her advocacy is informed by lived experience, with a focus on resilience, wellbeing, and accessibility. Alina’s work explores the connection between physical and mental health, as well as the role of environments, systems, and support structures in shaping how individuals cope and adapt. She has contributed to national conversations on lived experience and resilience, including the National Power of Peer Support Conference, and through the Federal Speakers Forum on Lived Experience. She was also recently featured on the DCO Discourse podcast with Distress and Crisis Ontario.
