We Talked, Shared and Grew Stronger Together
Kıvılcım Association continues to create spaces for awareness, psychological well-being and social solidarity through its civil society activities. On October 1, 2026, we came together for an online awareness talk titled “Psychological Resilience: How Can We Stay Strong During Difficult Times?” to explore how we can support ourselves through challenging life experiences.
Understanding Psychological Resilience
Stress, uncertainty, change and challenging life experiences can affect our emotional and psychological well-being. In these moments, psychological resilience does not mean ignoring difficulties or always appearing strong. Rather, it can involve recognizing what we are experiencing, understanding our emotions, developing ways to cope with challenges and creating space to seek support when we need it.
During this awareness talk organized by Kıvılcım Association, we discussed practical and meaningful ways of strengthening psychological resilience and explored how greater self-awareness can contribute to our overall well-being.
A Conversation on Psychosocial Support with Psychologist Sena Çaldağ
Together with psychologist Sena Çaldağ, we discussed psychological resilience from different perspectives. Throughout the online conversation, participants had the opportunity to reflect on how they can support themselves during difficult situations, recognize their emotional needs and understand the importance of reaching out for support.
The session also created a shared space for learning and reflection. By bringing people together around a common topic, the conversation highlighted the value of communication, active listening and solidarity in supporting psychological well-being.
Being Strong Does Not Mean Carrying Everything Alone
Psychological resilience is not about carrying every difficulty alone or pretending that everything is fine. Sometimes, being strong means allowing ourselves to pause, listen to what we are experiencing, share our feelings and make space to ask for support.
As Kıvılcım Association, we aim to contribute to awareness and social solidarity through our civil society activities. Our work in the areas of psychological well-being, awareness and psychosocial support seeks to create accessible spaces where people can learn, connect and share.
Through our online talks and awareness sessions, we bring together participants and professionals to discuss topics that are relevant to everyday life and personal well-being.
Continuing to Learn, Share and Grow Stronger
We sincerely thank everyone who joined our “Psychological Resilience: How Can We Stay Strong During Difficult Times?” online talk on October 1, 2026, and psychologist Sena Çaldağ for her valuable contribution.
At Kıvılcım Association, we will continue creating opportunities for learning, awareness and solidarity through our activities and online conversations.
Because sometimes being strong does not mean carrying everything alone.
It can mean pausing, sharing, listening and making space to ask for support.
We will keep learning, sharing and growing stronger together.
One spark at a time. ✨
