Resilience for Transformation: An Embodied Approach (Exeter)

This interactive 3-hour workshop introduces you to The Resilience Toolkit, a culturally responsive framework for reducing stress, addressing trauma, and building resilience in individuals and groups. Discover how The Toolkit empowers people with an intersectional framework to identify their own stress activation, trauma responses, and relaxation patterns. Learn how The Toolkit encourages appropriate regulation skills in a way that honors cultural and historical experiences and fosters choice and self-agency. And experience a selection of skills from The Toolkit’s carefully curated, evidence-based suite of nervous system regulation practices.

The Toolkit’s creator, Nkem Ndefo, will share this innovative framework and provide opportunities for practice and discussion. We’ll explore how The Toolkit is different from other modalities of addressing stress and trauma. Nkem will reveal how The Resilience Toolkit has been successfully implemented in a variety of clinical, community, and professional settings. And together we’ll discuss how The Toolkit can be woven into existing personal and professional practices.
