How We Help
Educators
The past few years have tested even the most resilient educators. We Are Resilient™ is for educators seeking more impact and greater job satisfaction. This approach:
- Provides a simple, yet powerful trauma-informed framework that raises awareness about behavioral patterns and promotes research-based skills to resolve conflicts, make better decisions, and improve relationships.
- Can help you successfully navigate daily stressors, adversity, and sudden change.
- Empowers you to be the culturally responsive, resilient adult role-model your students need most.
The We Are Resilient™ Practical Skills for Resilient Educators offers educators a hands-on resource book with the full breadth of the We Are Resilient™ approach, including the science behind each skill for themselves and to teach others.
“After 60 years of research we have arrived at a surprisingly simple conclusion: nothing—nothing—has more impact in the life of a child than positive relationships.”
