Course detail: Building Resilience: Surviving Secondary Trauma
We are resilient people. We are the ones others call when their world is falling apart. However, over the years, we are subjected to trauma and adversity on an almost daily basis and it can be mentally, emotionally, and physically damaging. We can continue to rely on our current level of resilience or we can choose to actively develop it. In this session, we will learn about pre-traumatic growth and how to develop specific resources and tools that help make us more resilient. Then when in adversity, learn how to intentionally use those resources to help us cope. We will discuss post-traumatic growth and learn the steps that need to be taken so it can make us healthier, wiser, and more resilient. Then finally, we will work through ways that allow us to thrive through life! The goal is to help us all learn how to prepare for, cope with, and grow through adversity so we can live a great story!
