The Resilience Project

Resilience is the ability to call upon inner resources to cope with stress in a healthy way and  “bounce back” to go on with life. If you work with children and youth who have had difficult life experiences, you can help them rebuild resilience with tools designed to promote a better sense of well-being. Our Brainy Resilience Tools help children and youth learn about handling emotions with healthy responses while feeling self-confident and capable. They were developed using information from diverse fields of knowledge such as neuroscience and understanding of the trauma exposed brain, child development and learning, as well as occupational therapy and mental and physical health. 

IMPORTANT:  These tools are NOT a substitute for professional mental health services for treating trauma. Ask the counselor how they can be used to supplement professional intervention.
