What is Resilience? • Individual Resilience - An individual’s ability to adapt to and even thrive in the face of adversity and traumatic events. • Community Resilience - The ability of a community to adapt to and even thrive in the face of adversity and traumatic events, thus reinforcing community healing and reducing trauma-inducing conditions.
Elements of a Resilient Community Socio-cultural environment Physical/built Economic environment environment
Effective Strategies for Resilience Building • Individual trauma-informed prevention and intervention efforts • Community strategy examples - • Socio-cultural environment – Rebuilding relationships and networks, strengthening healthy social norms, promoting community connection, violence prevention efforts, restorative justice, healing circles. • Physical/built environment – Creating safer public spaces, improving the built environment, investing in parks, housing and transportation. • Economic environment – Economic empowerment, workforce development, investing in resources.
Trauma-Informed Community Building Model (TICB) TICB takes into account people’s emotional needs and avoids re- traumatization triggers, which traditional models of community building either do not address or may even exacerbate.
