SUMMARY:Understanding Resilience and Grief in Children
DESCRIPTION:There is a misconception that resilience is a developed skill that children have\, but truthfully\, the potential for resilience lies within all of us.  However\, resilience is a skill that has to be taught\, modeled\, and developed over time.  Resilience can be fostered in the smallest of ways during multiple everyday opportunities\, but the results of those efforts can be seen in times of significant stress\, trauma\, and even grief.  Join us to explore more about resilience in children\, how it can be fostered\, and how to model and practice it.  \nThis training is for open to individuals across the U.S. and beyond due to collaboration with Empath Tidewell Grief Center\, Blue Butterfly.. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nGain a deeper understanding of resilience in children and explore ways to nurture it in daily life.\nIdentify opportunities to teach and model resilience\, particularly in the context of grief.\nExamine the importance of teaching resilience and its potential long-term benefits.\n\n1.5 CEs ($10) available through CEBrokers for Florida LMHC\, LMFT\, LCSW\, and Certified Master Social Worker. \n
