recourses
Sources of help
Recourses is the plural of recourse, meaning sources of help or options available when facing difficulty.
A person with no recourses left has exhausted all possible remedies.
The plural is relatively uncommon—recourse more often appears as an uncountable noun referring to the act of seeking help: have recourse to the courts.
