Why Focus on Resilience? 2019 BPT Conference Big Idea Session with Teri Barila

This quote captures the essence of why resilience matters. To Community Resilience Initiative, Resilience is not about “lifting yourself up by your bootstraps” or “bouncing back” from serious harm or injury. To us, Resilience is about self-discovery and self-awareness based on what the ACE Study, neurobiology, and epigenetics tell us...

Peer Program Uses Writing as a Tool for Trauma Recovery
For the past several years, a small yet dedicated group of writers has gathered at Pathway’s Peer Support Program in Ashland, Ohio to explore ways to use writing for overcoming life’s challenges, healing from trauma and adversity and building social connections with others. Tapestry of Our Lives is the result of their hard work. The writings in this anthology are rooted in adverse life experiences and childhood trauma, such as physical, sexual or psychological abuse or severe neglect.

Re: Wonderment (9-minutes karmatube.org)
Wow! What a beautiful and inspiring film...a reminder about the interconnectedness of all living things, and a humbling lesson that reminds us to remember that at the end of the day our existence, and survival, is inextricably tied to other animals with whom we are fortunate enough to share this planet with.

Re: 20 Caregiver Resolutions for 2020
Awesome list. These are great ideas for caregivers, who are under so much stress and often struggle to find time for themselves, but they're really applicable for just about anyone, including those recovering from trauma or those serving trauma survivors. Thanks for sharing this great resource, Cathy!

And yet hard science and deep wisdom tell us that play is neither silly nor impractical. The desire to engage in enjoyable experiences for their own sake is hard-wired into the brains of all mammals, and humans are no exception.
