Understanding Resilience to Better Support System-Involved Youth and Families

Nicole Kelly, PsyD

Training Description

As more service/support providers are learning about trauma and becoming trauma-informed, it’s crucial to not only focus on trauma but equally as 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. The training will also provide strategies to better understand generational resilience.

Learning Objectives

·        Participants will be able to explain resilience to system-involved youth and families.

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