We believe in a world where no one suffers in silence. Through education, lived experience, and culturally inclusive programs, we are breaking stigma, creating safe spaces, and building resilience, one conversation, one connection, and one community at a time.

🌿 Who We Are

Resilience Society is a community-based organisation founded in Cork, Ireland, created to support people facing emotional, physical, and social challenges, with a special focus on mental health, cancer support, and inclusion.

We are a partnership built from lived experience, compassion, and the belief that no one should face their struggles alone.

Founded by Abdikadir Ibrahim, also known as Brother Kadir, the organization was inspired by personal journeys through mental health difficulties and the loss of his father to cancer, and by the silence that too often surrounds these issues in African and immigrant communities.

At Resilience Society, we believe in the power of community, conversation, and care.
We walk with people through life’s hardest moments and help them rise with hope, dignity, and resilience.

We are listeners. We are healers. We are runners. We are resilient.

A serene scene in a courtyard surrounded by brick buildings, with a person assisting another in a wheelchair on a paved pathway. Tall trees with dense green foliage line the path, casting shadows and adding a touch of nature to the urban environment.

A room filled with several people, with a focus on a woman and child seated on blue chairs. The woman, wearing a red outfit, watches as the child receives a check-up from a person with long hair, possibly a healthcare worker, who holds medical equipment. In the background, more individuals, some with medical masks, are engaged in activities, likely related to health services. Posters and a blue banner adorn the walls, and sunlight streams through barred windows.
