About the Working Group

Join like-minded organizations passionate about building health worker resilience using locally adapted tools. Each participating organization can nominate between 1-3 team members to be a part of the working group.

Follow a human-centered design process to adapt the Resilience Message Program for your organization, which is designed to be delivered over six months. After appropriate localization and translation, the message program can be delivered to health workers’ mobile phones.

The resilience message program is a resource created by The Resilience Collaborative, an initiative of the Johnson & Johnson Center for Health Worker Innovation to advance learning and drive the adoption of evidence-based strategies for health worker resilience, particularly in low-resource settings. Dimagi is a participating partner of The Resilience Collaborative.
