Resiliency Scale Masterclass
Open to Parents & Guardians ~ Mon, Feb 24
Two, half-day sessions offered (8:30-12:00 or 6:00-9:00)
Pre-registration required by Feb 18.
Held at WRM School (District PD Day)
Resilience can be defined as the ability to respond positively in the face of adversity. The 3-hour Resilience Scale Masterclass explores how adversities, positive supports, and acquired skills and abilities interact to influence resilience and impact lifelong health and mental health outcomes. It provides foundational knowledge and a common language that are accessible across populations and disciplines, including policy makers, educators, practitioners, and the public. The Resilience Scale itself acts as a metaphor to communicate key concepts around resilience, and an effective visual tool to facilitate communication about life experiences, identify areas of support for children and families, and build connections to promote capacity for resilience.
