What is The Resilience Project?

The Resilience Project video summary, 2018

Resilience consultants from Soul Bird combined efforts with other therapists and counselors in Greater Cincinnati to join trauma survivors in building five resilience factors:

  • Positive connections with safe adults

  • Affiliation

  • Self-esteem

  • Voice, Choice, and Control

  • External support systems

The Growing Resilience e-book linked below is a compilation of stories and resources for teachers, foster parents, educators and other staff working with people who have experienced trauma. The Resilience Project is in collaboration with Hamilton & Clermont boards of DD, Clermont & Butler Family & Children First, Child Focus, Inc., and Families Connected of Clermont County.

As part of our partnership with The Resilience Project, you have access to our free e-book, Growing Resilience.

This book is for parents, teachers, therapists, and any staff interested in new and different ways to support people with trauma histories. Each page is packed with learning materials centered on growing resilience. Each approach shared helps grow one or more of these resilience factors. Every story is centered on the path toward resilience for the entire team.

 

Stories of Resilience

Understanding Resilience Approaches

Resilience Project Podcast

Sarah talks about growing resilience - and how it happens in relationship. She calls it relational resilience and says that along her own learning journey she has found that the true entry point to the work - begins when we begin to notice in what shows up in our bodies, and cultivate a sense of safety in ourselves so that we can bring that to others.

Sarah talks about screwing up as a facilitator of Trauma Informed Biographical Timelines, and what she has learned about being intentional before, during, and after a timeline to make for the best outcome. Sarah Buffie MSW, LSW, founding director of Soul Bird Consulting believes that nothing has the power to heal like supportive relationships.
