Dear Brothers and Sisters
The Lord is willing and anxious to help each of us to become self-reliant both temporally and spiritually. He has declared “It is my purpose to provide for my saints”. (D&C 104:15) The Self Reliance Initiative has been given to us by the Lord to help us navigate the uncertainties of life with skill and confidence. We hope you will prayerfully consider signing up for one of the groups. These classes have been a great blessing to many in our stake.
These courses are available to ALL members of the Stake ages 16 and up, including brothers and sisters, individuals and couples, members and non-members. No referral is needed. All meetings this session will be via Zoom due to current health restrictions.
The Stake Self-Reliance Committee is currently offering two separate courses. Classes will meet VIRTUALLY starting the week of April 18th , and are held weekly for 10-12 weeks. The two courses are:
1) Emotional Resilience (10 weeks) This course will provide guidance in establishing healthy thinking patterns, managing stress and anxiety, understanding sadness and depression, overcoming anger, managing addictive behaviors, building healthy relationships, and strengthening others.
2) Personal Finance (12 weeks) For those who want better control over their finances. Group members will learn how to eliminate debt, protect against financial hardships, and invest in the future. They will explore various tools for making sound financial decisions, create a financial plan, and following a budget.
Each course requires a commitment of two hours a week plus some time outside of class. Self-reliance groups function like a council. The classes are not taught by a teacher, but a facilitator who helps the group members review very carefully the manual for their course. The Spirit becomes the teacher.
You may review the course manuals for these groups on the following link:

The sign-up link will be available until Midnight on Tuesday , April 13. The groups will then be formed and you will be subsequently contacted by a facilitator for your group to arrange a meeting time (depending on your preferences). The classes will start the week of April 18. Each facilitator will work with their group to schedule around the Memorial Day holiday.
To learn more about how these courses can help you in your life, we invite you to view this video where members of the Orchard Stake share their experiences with participating in a Self Reliance Course:

We testify that participation in a self-reliance course will help you pass through whatever challenges you may be facing with a greater understanding that your Heavenly Father knows you and is watching over you.
