Fostering transformational healing and community since 2024.

The Resilience Project is a national nonprofit organization established in 2024 by Mary Owens, dedicated to empowering individuals affected by burn injuries. Serving burn survivors, their loved ones, burn care professionals, researchers, and advocates, the organization is committed to fostering resilience, supporting recovery, and promoting a safer world.

The foundation of The Resilience Project was inspired by Mary’s own experience as a burn survivor following a Thanksgiving 2022 cooking grease fire. During a visit to her burn treatment center at Grady Hospital, she witnessed the profound impact of peer support, which became the driving force behind the organization’s mission to provide transformative care and build a stronger, more connected burn community.
