I suggest these seminal authors for that:

Drs Robert Scaer, Stephen Porges, Bessell van Der Kolk, Gabor Mate, Dan Siegel, Peter Levine - several books by each.

For added insights and help on preventing trauma memory encoding, I'd also put in Self-Reg by Dr.Stuart Shanker and Childhood Disrupted, by Donna Jackson Nakazawa.

I humbly add my own, for that same purpose (in-the-moment or soon-thereafter interventions to quickly ground, re-regulate and therefor prevent traumatic memory encoding):

Compassion In Action: Emotional First-Aid for Children, by Deborah Miller PhD and myself, Jondi Whitis, MTOT

Right now, I am reading a good book called Building Resilience With Appreciative Inquiry by Joan McArthur-Blair and Jeanie Cockell. Its a very practical read with lots of tools on how to apply appreciative inquiry principles to move through hope, despair and forgiveness. It even has an agenda at the end of the book for leading your own workshop. Their website is: cockellmcarthur-blair.com.

Other books really useful in the school setting:

Help for Billy - Heather Forbes

Helping Traumatized Children Learn - Massachusetts Advocates for Children

Beyond Behaviors - Mona Delahooke

Bruce Perry has a great set of videos he's made available for COVID: https://www.neurosequential.com/covid-19-resources

Underneath all of this I think we need real systems work. I highly recommend Peter Senge's Schools that Learn and Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity by Cobb and Krownapple. Also Zaretta Hammond's Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain

At school one needs to ask, what is resilience and how do you build it?  Our approach is an integration of SEL and Discipline (so students see SEL in action - even when the going gets rough) and into that, add trauma informed practices and culturally responsive teaching.  You end up moving away from compliance into community - away from punishments and rewards into a culture of growth and repair and internal motivation.... it is  quite a culture shift - and it makes a difference.

Hello;

I teach Resiliency trainings for diverse disciplines across the US and the attached resource list is sorted by each of the five core elements of the resilience training listed below. It has been contributed to by various colleagues. I hope you find it helpful!

  1. Self-Knowledge and Insight
  2. Sense of Hope
  3. Healthy Coping
  4. Strong Relationships
  5. Personal Perspective and Meaning

Hi Kara,

I wrote "Goodbye Anxiety, Hello Freedom: How to Build Resilience and Overcome Anxiety" with 35 super simple ways to calm stress and anxiety. Most of the techniques are simple enough to teach children.  During these challenging times, it is even harder for people to take time to meditate or practice mindfulness, so simple ways are what's going to work best.  It's available through Amazon.  

Stay well!

Hi there,

I am compiling a list of Trauma Responsive tools, websites, Resources, Books, etc.  What are some of your favourites.  I am also from Canada, so any Canadian resources are also very welcome.

Hi Kara,

 

Here are two books; one is mine and the other is from my colleagues in Canada.

Through a Trauma Lens: Transforming Health and Behavioral Health Care Systems, Vivian Brown, 2018, Routledge
