This month: Strategies for Fostering Resilience, Rick Griffin

In this insightful session, "Strategies for Fostering Resilience: Understanding the Brain's Role," we delve into the fascinating interplay between neuroscience and resilience. Participants will embark on a journey to explore how the brain searches for safety, and how this knowledge can be harnessed to foster resilience in individuals and communities.

About Rick: Rick is currently the Executive Director for Community Resilience Initiative (CRI), the nation’s first community resilience network. Rick holds a Master’s degree in Education and uses his education to develop innovative content and to deliver engaging presentations. He speaks to thousands of groups from all over the country and is widely recognized for his work with trauma-informed practices.

As the former Executive Director of a trauma-informed therapeutic residential program for struggling teens, Rick has first-hand experience with developing and implementing strategies and structures that foster resilience. His experience allows him to consult seamlessly with schools, businesses, and community organizations.

Mr. Griffin continues to be on the leading edge of training design. He has developed several outstanding trauma and resilience-based programs and practices including Fostering Resilience in the Family, and Resilient Relationships: The Search for Love, Trust, and Safety. He is currently working on his latest project Trauma-Informed Leadership, a series of trainings that highlight the use of Neuroscience principles in professional development. Amid all this Rick still finds the time for his highest priorities, his faith, his family, and his friends.

We hope that you will join us!
