Product Details

In French only - Nourish Your Resilience is a reflection and sharing card set created by Guy Vermette, a psychologist and specialist in the psychology of aging. The set contains 75 cards across seven categories, each presenting a coping mechanism, a short description, and three guided questions focused on its role in daily life, the benefits it provides, and desired learning outcomes. Seven additional cards explore the meaning one finds in life.

The cards are designed to be used alone or in a group — as a couple, with family, friends, colleagues, or in facilitated community or residential settings. Each card is an opportunity for reflection and conversation, helping people identify and strengthen the resilience they already carry within themselves.

  • Nourish Your Resilience is suitable for people of all ages who want to explore, nurture, or strengthen their personal resilience through reflection and conversation.
  • Nourish Your Resilience is suitable for caregivers and their families looking for a meaningful shared activity that encourages honest conversation about coping and wellbeing.
  • Nourish Your Resilience is suitable for facilitators, group workers, and care community staff looking for a structured tool for group reflection in residential or community settings.

Caregiving is one of the most demanding roles a person can take on, and the emotional toll it carries is rarely given enough space. Resilience — the ability to adapt and find footing during difficult periods — is not something people either have or don't have. It can be identified, named, and strengthened, and that process is often more powerful when done in conversation with others.

Nourish Your Resilience offers a simple, structured way to start that conversation. The card format makes it accessible without requiring any facilitation background, and the seven categories, from being with oneself to relationships to physical and creative engagement, cover the full range of ways people cope and find meaning. What makes this set particularly well-suited to a caregiving context is its focus on what people already do to feel good, rather than on what is lacking. That reframe, from deficit to strength, is both practically useful and emotionally grounding. The set was developed by Guy Vermette out of decades of work in health, social services, and the psychology of aging, and that depth of experience is reflected in the quality of the questions.
