Welcome to the Cornell Crisis Advice Project!

We are gathering advice from elders who lived through a period of time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger.  Those of you who have lived during a time of crisis like the Great Depression, World War II, or the Jim Crow era, for example, have much to offer on how to cope with our current crisis.

For elders who have lived through a crisis: We would love to capture advice from you about how younger people can live through and remain hopeful in a time of crisis. Please share your wisdom, advice, and lessons by clicking the button below.

For those that know elders who have lived through a crisis: Feel free to share what the elder told you about living through a crisis. Please share that wisdom, advice, and lessons by clicking the button below.
