The Resilience Project is administered by Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services (GCBH) with the support of these partner agencies: Child Focus, Hamilton County DD Services, Clermont County Board of DD, Clermont FCFC and Child Protective Services and Families Connected. The Resilience Project receives funding through a Strong Families Safe Communities grant from Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) and Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD).
How do we best support and help families grow in a toxically stressful world where trauma is the epidemic beneath some of our most vexing personal and societal challenges? On an individual level, we know trauma affects the brain, body, and behavior, and current research is demonstrating its influence on our genetic code by changing our gene expression. While the legacy of trauma creates a complex array of social, emotional, and behavioral survival skills that are passed on inter-generationally, what is often missed is the resilience present in those skills. On a societal level, relational neuroscience demonstrates that all growth occurs in relationships, and all relationships are embedded in culture. Learn ways to connect with the resilience factors found in family cultures and the culture of the communities in which they live. Be introduced to community-based interventions that shift survival skills into protective factors supporting growth beyond intergenerational cycles. Explore your role in helping those whose lives you touch redefine survival as resiliency, continue building their gifts and connect with the resilience in their community.
