Vitality - having the strength and resilience to lead a meaningful and purposeful life - comes from building a strong Web of Support to sustain us in good times and hard times.
These are challenging times for teachers, administrators, and the supportive adults who care for students at home. By attending this interactive workshop, you'll breathe new life into your personal and professional resilience and be able to transfer your knowledge, vitality, and resiliency to others, including your colleagues, students, family members, and friends.
Join us for a full-color look at the traditionally black-and-white definition of resilience.
Participants can expect to:
Explore the foundations, development, and importance of human resilience - from its history and into current research and challenges.
Understand how the Full-Color Web of Support framework provides a way to view and understand the support systems of anyone - from children, to teens, to adults - that cultivates authentic and equitable resilience.
Discover and examine the architecture and diversity of your own support system.
Learn real-world, ready-to-apply strategies such as CREWING™* and AnchorTypes™ for intentionally integrating different supports from various walks of life, which help ensure a robust Web of Support.
*CREWING = Class, Race, Education, Worldview, Interest, Neighborhood, Gender
