Nicole Kelly, PsyD & Kwonta Phatiphong, PsyD

Training Description

As more providers are learning about trauma and becoming trauma-informed, it’s crucial to not only focus on trauma but equally important to focus on resilience. Resilience impacts how individuals respond and recover from trauma. This training will provide an overview of resilience as well as ways to identify and foster resilience with system-involved youth, their families and their communities.

Learning Objectives

· Participants will be able to explain the concept of resilience and the importance of supporting resilience with system involved youth and families.

· Participants will be able to identify at least one example of resilience in individuals who have encountered trauma.
