Resilience Institute

Leading the Way

线上澳博建立了通过创伤知情实践建立复原力研究所，作为创伤知情实践的主要资源和倡导者. 

We've emerged as a leader in this space, creating and refining our curriculum over the past decade, before there were any degrees of this kind. We've introduced a dedicated one-year master's degree and a certificate program, plus we've incorporated this important work into the curriculum across other degree programs. 

Goals of the Institute

We'll serve as a national advocate, resource, 也是运用创伤知情实践来建立复原力的典范，从而改善数千万经历过创伤的人的生活质量.

SAMHSA Approach

I-BRTIP赞同药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局(SAMHSA)对创伤的定义:事件导致的个体创伤, series of events, 或者是个体经历的身体或情感上有害或威胁生命的一系列环境对个体的功能和精神有持久的不利影响, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being.  

I-BRTIP also endorses SAMHSA’s concept of a trauma-informed approach, which is grounded in a set of four assumptions and six key principles. The four assumptions: A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed:

1. realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; 
2. recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system; 
3. 通过将有关创伤的知识充分整合到政策、程序和实践中，以及 
4. seeks to actively resist re-traumatization. 

The SAMHSA’s trauma-informed approach incorporates six key principles: 

1. Safety
2. Trustworthiness and Transparency
3. Peer Support
4. Collaboration and Mutuality
5. Empowerment, Voice and Choice
6. Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues

Widespread Impact

There is not an area of human life that is untouched by trauma and mental health. 全国精神健康联盟(NAMI)和其他机构的研究证实，创伤的影响是精神疾病和身体疾病的主要原因. 同样，心理创伤也是青少年司法机构中许多儿童的根本原因.

医生每天都在不知不觉中应对心理健康和创伤幸存者. Medical training includes very little attention to either, aside for a single class session. In higher education and in the workforce, lingering effects of trauma emerge as obstacles to success and worse, as reasons for failure. 

Mental health and trauma are under-treated, under-diagnosed, and overrepresented in vulnerable populations of all kinds.  The LGBTQIA community, persons of color, 而且女性在心理健康状况和创伤的风险和发生方面都承受着额外的沉重负担. And of course, 它们相互交织，并因COVID-19大流行的深远和终身影响而加剧. Collectively, intersectionality, 系统性种族主义和不公正加上创伤的综合影响，增加了诊断和治疗创伤以及扩大创伤知情做法的紧迫感. 

线上澳博比以往任何时候都有更详细的研究表明创伤会改变大脑的发育, 所有这些群体的人由于发展滞后而面临社会障碍的另一种风险.  We know for instance that on a cellular level, African American women are approximately 10 years older than their chronological age.  At the cellular level, 他们背负着300多年来种族和经济压迫和歧视的创伤. 

Generational Impact

This centuries-long problem manifests in higher infant and mother mortality rates, as well as lower life expectancies of both men and women of color.  这也意味着社会中有一些成员不能充分发挥他们的最大潜力或贡献.  通过创伤知情实践建立复原力与社会正义之间有着深刻的联系.  

受压迫群体不仅比其他人更容易遭受创伤和心理健康问题, but they also carry the oppression of the past in their DNA. This follows generation after generation. Moreover, the long-term impact of trauma has already increased significantly during COVID-19, particularly among vulnerable populations. As the pandemic continues, the effects on BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and families living in poverty will only worsen. 

这些都是线上澳博app准备通过创伤知情实践建立复原力研究所(I-BRTIP)来解决的问题，作为线上澳博对促进社会正义的独特贡献. 

The name of the Institute begins with “Building Resilience,这反映了对基于优势的方法的承诺，这种方法借鉴了韧性历史的见解, the wealth of cultural assets in the midst of systemic oppression, and practices such as child positive thinking, creating a supportive school environment, building strong relationships between school and family, joining peer groups, building good relationships with neighbors and relatives, and proven strengths-based strategies such as family culture and traditions, affection, positive and open communications, daily routines, defined boundaries, and clear expectations.
