The Community Resilience Workgroup (CRW)  has been developed in response to the impacts that various underrepresented and disadvantaged populations will be experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The goals of this group will be to enhance universal resilience and promote recovery from trauma and stress caused by the virus and its economic consequences.
