Youth Train the Trainer

The Arizona ACEs Consortium is offering the opportunity for a limited number of individuals with a passion for youth empowerment to participate in a Training of Trainers to become a Certified Youth Resilience Trainer. This curriculum empowers youth to participate in the ongoing development of their resilience by equipping them with science-based information about their brains, bodies, and behaviors in engaging and developmentally appropriate ways.

The Youth Training portion of the REP program engages youth ages 12-18 in learning and discovery about:

  • Stress Load and Types of Stress
    • All humans experience ongoing stress
    • Everyone’s stress is different and impacts their brains, bodies, and behaviors differently.
    • Stress can be healthy if you have people and a plan to help us receive and regulate stress.
  • Stress Strategies: Window of Tolerance, Regulation, and Relationships
    • How our brains and bodies are hard-wired for survival and self-protection
    • What stress feels like in your brain and body and how to regulate it
    • How to establish practices that help us receive stress in a healthy way
    • Safe, trusting relationships can help us regulate, and receive stress, and build resilience
  • The Neuroscience of Stress and My Recipe for Resilience
    • What happens biologically in the brain and body when stress and regulation occur
    • Development of a personalized resilience plan to guide decisions when we experience stress activation

The curriculum is 4.5 hours which can be divided into three 90 min sessions or five classroom sessions of 55 min.
