Building Resiliency

Caring for traumatized children and adolescents can erode a caregiver’s compassion and empathy as the shared experience of trauma becomes overwhelming. Resiliency refers to the ability to withstand the stresses and strains of life and work and have a strong capacity for adaptation. Resilient caregivers have robust daily practices that keep them mentally and physically strong. This class explores the problem of chronic unremitting stress on our overactive and distracted brains and offers a set of different skill sets for robust mental health that can be learned and practiced by anyone. 

• Recognize warning signs of vicarious trauma 
• Examine key areas of physical health and active relaxation skills 
• Increase positive emotions and counter negative thinking 
• Address the “why” of being a caregiver
