Resilience is the ability to build back
When it comes to trauma, resilience is less about bouncing back and more about having the support needed to cope, adapt, and build back over time. No two people experience trauma in the exact same way. Traumatic events, especially in childhood, impact brain development, health, and life course outcomes.
When we become aware and understand the effects of trauma, we can move from judgment and blame to curiosity and care. It’s possible to cultivate resilience and recover from these experiences.
In our online course, Growing Resilience Through a Trauma-Informed Approach, we break down complex concepts so you can easily understand trauma research and apply strategies to support recovery and build resilience across the life span for children, individuals, families, and communities.
Building resilience and strength in families is the most important investment we can make in our society.
