The ability of an individual, organization, or community to successfully cope with and use climate change-enhanced adversities as transformational catalysts to learn, grow, and increase wellbeing is determined by many factors. Some of the most important are the knowledge people have about how trauma and toxic stress can affect their mind and body, their personal resilience skills, the strength of their social support networks, and capacity to clarify their purpose and make wise and skillful choices in the midst of ongoing adversity. This webinar will describe how to build these capacities using the Resilient GrowthTM model developed by ITRC Coordinator Bob Doppelt and described in his book Transformational Resilience: How Building Human Resilience for Climate Disruption Can Safeguard Society and Increase Wellbeing (Greenleaf Publishing 2016).
In specific, this one-hour webinar will cover:
- The importance of, methods for, and many benefits of building "Presencing" skills to regulate and calm the nervous system when distressed.
- The importance of, methods for, and many benefits of building "Purposing" skills to make values-based wise and skillful decisions in the middle of rising trauma and toxic stress.
- Applications of these skills to the personal, organization, and community levels.
