This intermediate-level course will be useful for psychologists, social workers, clinicians, and other helping professionals working with children, youth, and adults. The course will increase the number of professional tools available to support clients on their resilience journey so that they can overcome trials, traumas, and other adverse circumstances they encounter.
Resilience is a set of skills that can be improved upon by an individual and community. In human services, resilient behavior is both a common occurrence and an area needing continual growth. Being resilient allows us to make a difference without being consumed by negativity. Modeling resilience is a powerful message to our colleagues, clients, and communities. Teaching resilience spreads health and well-being throughout our circles of influence.
How can we use our brains and bodies to learn, model, and teach? Your brain is a powerful meaning-making machine! You can help it help you by improving your emotional vocabulary, recognizing the fear/excitement switch, and hearing “the meanings”. Your body holds the history of your ancestors. Learning to understand and care for your body during “fight, flight, or freeze” moments allows for healthier choices impacting you and those around you. Learning, modeling, and teaching these increases resilience for yourself, colleagues, adults, and children in ever-widening circles.
Objectives:
1. Describe resilience as a process and a skill set that can be learned and improved upon.
2. Assess the current level of resilience and determine areas for growth.
3. Utilize cognitive strategies to improve their resilience.
4. Discuss concrete steps to implement during a “fight, flight, freeze” to model and teach to others.
5. Develop an initial plan regarding how to model and teach resilience skills in their circles of influence.
