New Orleans, April 5-6, 2010: CERD Project
REBOUND Resilience Drug Education Workshop
CERD's Resilience Drug Education (ResDrugEd) Workshops have received rave
reviews. In 2007, CERD’s ResDrugEd model caught the attention of the
Mentor Foundation, which aims to identify the most promising practices for
drug misuse prevention, and disseminate this experience and knowledge internationally.
Additionally, through a generous grant from the European Union (EU) the
project will expand with partners throughout Europe. We will also bring
this program to the U.S. CERD wants to invest in our young people in New
Orleans for the long term. So, on April 5-6, 2010, we will be holding a
1.5. day preview of our REBOUND workshops, the first of our commitment to
the NOLA area.
This workshop promises to be an exciting opportunity for
those who appreciate youth development and supporting human resilience
to experience the process of resilience when addressing youthful drug
issues.
The workshop will be conducted by CERD facilitators.
During the workshop, CERD facilitators model experiences
that you can use as an administrator, or in working with youth, families,
or clients. It includes these key components:
Understanding resilience as a strengths-based orientation.
What does resilience mean in your community, school, or practice?
A "nuts and bolts" blending of process
activities, so that resilience is promoted, and a healthy process for
making life-affirming decisions can be acquired and utilized.
The Resilience Education workshop is open to educators,
administrators, helping professionals, researchers, or those interested
in fostering resilience in their communities. Participation includes the
workshop, materials, and luncheon. Registration is taken on a "first-come
first serve" basis.
