Community Resilience Initiatives Resources

  • *Building Resilience to Trauma: During and after a traumatic experience, survivors experience a cascade of physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, relational, and spiritual responses that can make them feel unbalanced and threatened. The second edition of Building Resilience to Trauma explains common responses from a biological perspective, reframing the human experience from one of shame and pathology to one of hope and biology. Using two evidence-informed models of intervention that are trauma-informed and resiliency-informed – the Community Resiliency Model (CRM) and the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – chapters distill complex neuroscience into understandable concepts and lay out a path for fostering short- and long-term healing.
  • Resilience Trumps ACEs – Community Action Manual: A practical guide to community action to reduce ACEs and foster Resilience in your community. The Community Action Toolbox and Building a Work Plan sections offer the lessons learned during our community mobilization work on ACEs and Resilience.
  • Building a Resilience Toolkit Strategy Kit: This unique 3-inch by 3-inch kit contains 12 resilience building blocks cards [2-inch by 2.5-inch card size] to develop a “habit of practice” for the six strategies – Claim my calm, Find my safe zone, Name my feelings, Build connections, Know my state, and Share my smile. When you add a die, you can then toss the die to see which of the six categories you will practice that day for a moment of mindfulness. You could even journal your reflection or doodle art that moment, step outside for a walking meditation, do a quick breathing exercise or shoulder/back stretch, and track your progress in achieving that habit.
