Acknowledge Alliance: Project Resilience Awareness

After six months Acknowledge Resilience has reported very positive results for the 2020 school year and has high hopes for 2021. Project Resilience Awareness strives to “promote lifelong resilience in children and youth and strengthen the caring capacity of the adults who influence their lives” through consultation by Resilience Consultants’ contacts with students, teachers and school principals.

They have met their goals of increasing educators’ awareness of students’ social and emotional issues and using strength-based strategies to engage and reach their students. They achieved their goal of promotion of positive school climates according to educators’ reports. Additionally, school staff were appreciative of the services provided by Project Resilience and they found that virtual services worked well during school closures and distant learning. Finally, both Teacher and Principal Resilience groups were well received and highly rated by participants.
