Mistie,

Check out The National Institute for Trauma & Loss in Children (TLC) at starr.org

I am a trainer for them and they have 2 evidenced based trauma intervention programs.  One program is the SITCAP ART program for adjudicated youth.  The other is the I feel Better Now Program for ages 6-12.  They also have several other programs that are based off the same model. I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I'd be happy to answer any questions.  I've been an educator and crisis interventionist in the public school system for the last 17 years and am currently in the process of moving into work dedicated solely to educating parents about the effects of childhood trauma, training professionals (especially in the school setting) on evidenced based interventions for childhood trauma and creating trauma-informed schools and classrooms.

Let me know if I can help,

Thanks,

Kimberly 

 

You might hear about something of interest if you contact the Psychology Department at the University of Queensland who've had research going into programs for resilience for several years now

not sure about the current details, but they were running something in conjunction with the NGO HeartKids

the academic whom you might contact is Professor Ken Pakenham

I worry about resiliency and its underlying assumptions: bouncing back. That is impossible. Kids who have been traumatized need to bounce forward. We need to re-think. See my blog here today.   Consider the term "lasticity" and developing that. Detailed in new book called Breakaway Learners.  Quick explanation at www.breakawaylearners.com on tab labeled: What is Lasticity?  There are examples and checklists and in the trenches experiences.  Try that as an alternative to or additive to resiliency.  (Book is newly released and available in the usual spots.)
