The Resilience Model in Action
An 8-Session Trauma-Informed Series for Educators
Facilitated by Sarah Buffie, MSW, LSW
Hosted by The Resilience Project and Child Focus
This virtual 8-session professional development series empowers educators with the tools, understanding, and practices needed to support students impacted by trauma.
About the Series
Rooted in the Resilience Model (Finding Hope Consulting) and informed by neuroscience, this series helps educators shift from a behavior-focused lens to one of healing, relationship, and regulation.
Through personal reflection, interactive learning, and classroom-ready strategies, you’ll explore trauma’s impact on development and behavior while strengthening five resilience factors in yourself and your students.
Each virtual session offers time to reflect, connect, and apply the learning to your day-to-day work.
