Resilience Builder Program®

I am a Level I Certified Provider of the Resilience Builder Program® Group (Alvord, Zucker & Grados, 2011), a structured, evidence-based social skills and resilience training program designed to help children, adolescents, and young adults develop the tools they need to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. This cognitive-behavioral group approach focuses on building essential life skills such as emotional regulation, problem-solving, self-confidence, and positive peer interactions.

Through engaging, interactive activities in a supportive group setting, participants learn how to:

•    Manage stress and cope with challenges

•    Improve communication and social skills

•    Build stronger friendships and relationships

•    Enhance self-esteem and confidence

•    Develop effective problem-solving strategies

Personalized Goals and Parent Involvement

Each participant begins the program with an individualized assessment to identify specific strengths and areas for growth. Based on this, personalized goals are created to ensure meaningful progress throughout the program. We believe that parental support is key to a child’s success, so the program includes regular parent involvement. Parents are encouraged to participate in periodic check-ins and receive practical strategies to reinforce skills at home, fostering consistency and lasting change.

The program is customized to meet the developmental needs of different age groups and supports children, adolescents, and young adults with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and other learning or social challenges.

Whether your child struggles with making friends, managing emotions, or navigating everyday stressors, the Resilience Builder Program® Group offers practical tools and a supportive environment to foster growth and success.

The program includes two 15-week sessions. Participants can engage in either one or both sessions. Please reach out if interested in your child joining an upcoming group.
