Clallam Resilience Project's Consortium outreach and efforts are creating common language and shared understanding of accessible neuroscience and public health research for community members.  

Between January-March 2025, over 150 participants have engaged in Clallam Resilience Project's learning opportunities. 

Over 87% of participants agreed that through the sessions they gained a shared language and more understanding of common terms.

A Resilience Month 2022 participant identified the benefit of "Having the language to help others see how it correlates to their own lived experiences within their own generations.” Our approach values individual's knowledge, lived experiences, and autonomy while also offering research and pathways towards community responsibility.  

“I will continue to use the knowledge in my own family and relationships to help steer us all towards healing and resilience”

It might be evident to those who work with children, or in social services every day, that both adverse and positive childhood experiences can affect health throughout the lifespan.  Our events share breakthroughs in research on how brain development occurs and the impacts of trauma and hope on health and social skills.  This research, including the focus on individual and community prevention, protective factors, and mitigation, has led to innovative and effective trauma sensitive and healing centered approaches in healthcare, education, human services, public safety, and workforce development.
