In 2015, Dr. Moghaddasi founded the Resilience House of Iran. Its website, resiliency.ir, is recognized as a principal Iranian reference point and specialized address for resilience-related knowledge and resources. The Resilience House provides a platform for content development, education, public awareness, the promotion of hope, and support for social initiatives. It also fosters meaningful connections among universities, civil-society organizations, media, and the wider community.
