Course Abstract
Building Resilience in Children is a 3-hour online continuing education (CE) course that offers a variety of resilience interventions to help children flourish.
Health professionals are treating an increasing number of children who have difficulty coping with 21st century everyday life. Issues that are hard to deal with include excessive pressure to succeed in school, bullying, divorce, or even abuse at home.
This course provides a working definition of resilience and descriptions of the characteristics that may be associated with better outcomes for children who confront adversity in their lives. It also identifies particular groups of children – most notably those with developmental challenges and learning disabilities – who are most likely to benefit from resilience training. The bulk of the course – presented in two sections – offers a wide variety of resilience interventions that can be used in therapy, school, and home settings.

This course was highly informative. Much was relevant to our teenage granddaughter, who is marginally on the "spectrum"; the course increased my awareness of how my wife and I can help this gifted young lady. This is a printed-out course that I will keep aside for re-reading: to help patients and to guide our granddaughter. Thanks to you, Adina and Leo!
