Building Community Resilience: Community Resilience - June Learning Series

Building Community Resilience

This series is designed for community members with all types of roles, responsibilities, and passions. Many of us are likely part of a larger institution. It may be an organization or agency—or it may be an entire system, such as education, criminal justice or social services.

As we talk about trauma and adversity in childhood, what does this mean for systems? How can we incorporate an understanding of trauma to create systems that truly work? You will be encouraged to think about how this information could be applied within your own “sphere of influence”—family, workplace, school, community, etc.

Building self-healing communities includes mentorship in the margins, positive role-modeling and a community-inclusive approach to the administration of justice.

Objectives:

• Discover the framework and strategies for building resiliency for individuals and communities
• Hear firsthand from youth on why peer-to-peer mentoring is important
• Learn to help increase awareness of preventive strategies that reduce harm and hurt to vulnerable children and families in South Dakota
