#SelfGratitude is a powerful healing practice that can help us to prioritize our wellbeing and strength. #Gratitude allows us to see the areas in our lives where we have grown, are still growing, and will continue to grow. #TraumaInformedPractices #TraumaHealing #HealingPractice #BuildingResilience #ResilientFutures

We are halfway through our foundational training series for trauma-informed, equity-focused practices for all Arapahoe Community College early childhood education staff, faculty, students, and community partners! We send a big THANK YOU to the Resilient Futures staff and faculty trainers who lead this series, which is made possible with funding from The Buell Foundation. Stay tuned for more updates as we lead faculty members through a train-the-trainer series and facilitate learning collaboratives with other CO programs! #TraumaInformedPractices #ECE #Equity #EquityInEducation #TraumaHealing #BuildingResilience #ColoradoNonProfit

Family is traditionally defined as a group of people with the same ancestors, but family can also be defined as a group of people who offer support, guidance, and safety to one another. We can build resilience within our chosen families by allowing space for individuals to be themselves and being intentional with acknowledging what we need from those who are closest to us. #ChosenFamily #Family #TraumaInformedPractices #BuildingResilience #ResilientFutures

Happy #MLKDay! Your work as teachers, educators, parents, caregivers, community leaders, and supporters uplifts humanity! We appreciate everything that you do to show up for your students, children, colleagues, community members, friends, and families. Let's continue to remember that no work is insignificant, as Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said. #Equity #TraumaInformedPractices #BuildingResilience #ResilientFutures
