Raising Resilience Tennessee provides compassionate, evidence-based, & research-informed programs for parents, children, & professionals. We approach our work through a non-judgmental & strengths-based lens, integrating advanced knowledge about ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences/Community Environments), PCEs (Positive Childhood Experiences), & HOPE. Resilient children/teens achieve more academically & have improved health/mental health across their life spans. Research shows ACEs create an increased likelihood of poor health & mental health outcomes. Our ability to become successful adults in life relies on prevention or early intervention when ACEs exist, as well as empowering parents to integrate Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) proven to buffer ACEs. How we respond impacts communities for generations. In addition to our parenting groups, we also offer wrap around services to increase support across the systems families encounter & help parents be better able to provide safe, nurturing homes. When budget allows we include direct support for basic needs. Raising Resilience Tennessee is a change agent in our community! Our programs provide education, skill-building, guidance, and support as families navigate new strategies for coping with generational trauma & move forward with greater awareness, confidence, & a renewed hope for resilience!
