BUILDING RESILIENCE: How to Thrive in the Face of Adversity
On April 10th at the Siren Schools Auditorium, more than 30 people joined Jon Platson, Inner Peak Counseling, and Chris Crowe, North Star Academy, for a free workshop on resilience, its importance, and how we can create resilience for ourselves and others. Jon and Chris will use their expertise in resilience-building, protective factors, and working directly with youth to provide an overview of protective factors and risk factors (both for youth/adults and those serving youth/adults), how to build resilience, and new research for what folks can do when these strategies are falling short. They talked about how to best support those seeking and/or providing services in our organizations, especially during challenging times.
