**To Resiliency by Using Their Own Voices ** Students face an array of circumstances that could discourage them from finding hope inside and outside the classroom. This presentation serves as a platform for educators to participate in a discourse on resiliency research, consider how to select literature and/or experiences, and develop strategies to become turnaround mentors by empowering students to use their own voices through written expression.
