DHS-Devereux-Building Your Bounce: Promoting Adult Resilience - VIRTUAL RECORDED Online Registration
Presented by: Nefertiti Poyner, Ed.D.
Description: Teachers, parents and all adults who educate and care for yound children are invited to join Dr. Nefertiti Poyner, Early Childhood Specialist and Lead Trainer for the Devereux Center for Resilient Children, on a journey of discovering strategies that promote adult resilience. This self-paced learning experience shines a light on how adults who prioritize their own well-being have a greater capacity to provide the kind of high-quality care that young children deserve.
The Building your Bounce: Promoting Adult Resilience Course invites participants to learn how thoughts, behaviors and actions throughout the day can be used to promote resilience and better manage daily hassles and major life adversities. The course offers research-based, resilience-building strategies that strengthen relationships, promote healthy self-regulation, increase initiative, and teach participants how to be kinder to themselvbes. Through a series of challenges, participants are actively engaged in learning how the most ordinary moments in the day can transform how we engage with others, talk to ourselves in dinder ways, and find happiness and joy despite the challenge and adversities in life.
The Building your Bouncew Online Course takes approximately 2.5-3 hours to complete, including interaction, reflection, and application of skills learned. To optimize the learning experience, participants should consider completing one or two sessions at a time rather than all six sessions at once. This approach allows for more reflection and time to apply to the skills. In addtion, because promoting resilience is a life-long commitment, participants are encouraged to revisit the sessions and use the course "challenges" as ongoing resilience-building tools after the initial course completion.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the positive impact of four key protective factors: (1) Healthy relationships; (2) Internal beliefs; (3) Initiative; and (4) Self-control on the mental health and resilience of adults who care for children.
- Practice strengthening the four key protective factors through simple exercises that focus on using thoughts, behaviors and actions that contribute to resilience.

- You must be a Chester County Provider
