Title
Tools and Practices to Strengthen Resilience: A Deep Dive into the Recentering Model
Cohort Facilitator
Michelle St. Romain Wilson, M.A., Wellspring Consulting
The last two years have brought unprecedented changes to our world, bringing new challenges as we work to serve our communities. We may also see this as a time which offers new opportunities to create structures and practices that support us in meeting the emerging realities we face.
In this interactive cohort, we will explore the Recentering model to strengthen our personal resilience and create tools to bring back to our organizations. The model is based on principles of trauma-informed care and resiliency work; integrative health; positive psychology; and positive workforce engagement. In each of the first four sessions, we will dive into one of the four areas of the Recentering model: roots, values, practices, and anchors. In our final session we will bring it all together and create plans for ongoing self-care to build resiliency, flexibility, and creativity in our work and personal lives, allowing us to be more able to meet the challenges and opportunities we are facing.
Learning Outcomes
In this five-session series, participants will:
- Learn about the four areas of the Recentering model: the roots that ground us; the values that guide us; the practices that sustain us; and the anchors that hold us steady
- Learn about the connections between this model and principles of resiliency, positive psychology, integrative health, and positive workforce engagement
- Create a personal plan and toolkit for recentering and building resiliency during times of challenge and change
- Have tools to bring back to their organizations for use with their teams
