Abstract
Background: The world is a challenging and sometimes difficult place to navigate. People are faced with tragedies and adversity. Without supportive people and environments, this can lead to poor outcomes such as physically, socially, and emotionally. Children rely on adults to provide safety, love, and security yet many children do not receive the care they need and deserve. Adversity in children affects their development and reduces their capabilities to deal with stress. For a society to prosper and grow, reducing child adversity is essential. Resilience is a powerful tool that can be fostered and developed in children, so they are able to succeed even with adversity. Resilience is key to helping children thrive in a world where they may be faced with adverse childhood experiences at home or in their communities. Purpose: This quality improvement project will provide education to promote and foster resilience in the school aged child. Methods: A systematic investigation which will include data collection and analysis will be conducted to determine if participants’ knowledge and confidence in promoting resilience increased after the intervention compared to previous standards.
