World Resiliency Week 2026 — The Pulse of Resilience: A Conversation with Jen Schneeman & Dave Closson | UHP S5E2

Every heartbeat tells a story. Fall. Feel. Rise. That’s the pulse of resilience and it’s the heartbeat of ⁠World Resiliency Week⁠ 2026.

In this episode, Shane Varcoe sits down with ⁠Jen Schneeman⁠ and ⁠Dave Closson⁠, two of the architects behind this year’s World Resiliency Week campaign. Jen is a trauma-informed nervous system specialist and burnout prevention expert. Dave is a military veteran and global prevention leader with lived experience of trauma and recovery. Together they bring frontline insight into what resilience actually looks like, in the body, in communities, and in the everyday moments that shape us.

They unpack the science of the nervous system, the rhythm we’ve lost in modern life, why young people are asking deeper questions than ever, and how the Fall – Feel – Rise. framework gives people real tools, not just awareness.

Whether you’re working in prevention, community wellbeing, youth work, recovery or simply trying to show up better in your own life, this conversation is for you.
