Resilient Communities: Protect and Increase Resiliency of Your Children Working Group

Childhood experiences have a tremendous, lifelong effect on our health and the quality of our lives. There is dramatic links between childhood trauma and risky behavior, psychological issues, serious illness, and the leading causes of death.

Everyone, by virtue of being human, will face stress, trauma, or adversity, and our bodies are “wired” to handle some of that.

But what about when that stress, trauma, or adversity is prolonged? Just as you might take extra vitamins when you feel a cold coming on, incorporating resiliency-building practices into your life can help expand your capacity to manage these challenges.

Come and learn as we walk through the development of children and find some areas, we can be more effective at parenting or learning about ourselves!
