Everyone has role to play in preventing and reducing the effects of adversity and promoting resilience and positive outcomes. Communities are stronger and more vibrant when all children, youth, families, and individuals are supported, especially in the face of significant stressors and adversities. The Community Resilience Coalition of Guelph & Wellington offers multiple training opportunities for community leaders and service providers. Training modules are designed to provide the foundational knowledge required to take action and promote resilience and well-being across communities.
Available Training:
REVISED Community Resilience Core Training – this five-module series provides foundational knowledge for people working in health and social services (for example, child protection workers, health promotion specialists, primary and allied health practitioners, parent outreach workers). However, the information shared is applicable and transferrable to all health, social service, and community settings.

These modules consolidate information from multiple sources to provide evidence-based, practical information for human service providers and community members. The information and available research about ACEs and Resilience is continually expanding. These modules were developed with the best-known available information at the time of production.
