Youth-Led Resilience Promotion (YLRP)
Centering youth as leaders for promoting resilience after a disaster
4 hr course | Youth-Led Approach | An Integrative Resilience Promotion and Trauma Recovery Approach
Overview
The Youth-Led Resilience Promotion program guides students through a simple 5-step process for developing new strategies and implementing initiatives to promote resilience and support peer trauma recovery.
Using the Promotion & Prevention Social Change Model, participants develop youth-led strategies.
After a disaster, the focus shifts to psychological trauma response and recovery. Yet, resilience is the expected trajectory for most people after a potentially traumatic event (Bonanno, 2021).
Youth need to promote relational resilience through caring and supportive actions that build connection.
