How to Promote Resilience & Recovery
Having a difficult childhood doesn't need to condemn a person to a problematic future.
This short animation by https://uktraumacouncil.org/ encourages us all to respond compassionately to people that sometimes display challenging behaviour.
Let's seek not to condemn but to comprehend.
Key principles in this animation:
- The brain is a learning organ
- The brain learns through trusting relationships
- Brain adaptations may contribute to behaviour we find challenging
- Stepping back to reflect can create new ways of thinking
- Helping (and well-being) is a team effort
- Behaviour as communication: what does it mean?
- By responding differently we can create a different outcome
- Helping a child make sense of their experience
- Helping ourselves help others
Although this animation focuses on children it is very relevant to how we might support vulnerable adults too.
