The Resilient Guilford Network is an action oriented, trauma resiliency network of systems and collaborative leaders who work together to build and support safe, secure, and nurturing communities. We are committed to using a trauma responsive and racial equity framework to prevent and heal trauma while strengthening individual, organizational, and community resilience across Guilford County. These gatherings offer space to learn, connect, and consider actionable ways we can improve safety, wellness, and belonging for all.
THIS MONTH’S MEETING: Protecting Childhood One Voice at a Time focuses on the shared responsibility of creating environments where children feel safe, heard, and supported. This session looks at how early adversity affects development and how caring adults can play a powerful role in buffering stress and promoting healing. Participants will explore strategies for recognizing signs of distress, responding with compassion, and fostering relationships that help children thrive. The discussion emphasizes the importance of consistent voices of support and highlights practical steps we can take as a community to safeguard childhood and empower young people in every setting.
