The Clallam Resilience Project is a consortium of over 50 organizations working together to foster resiliency for our residents, organizations, community, and systems. Using research from the NEAR* sciences, we provide opportunities to connect, learn, and educate on how and why to apply trauma sensitive care county wide.
*NEAR sciences are: Neuroscience, Epigenetics, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and Resiliency
We have...
VISION
To foster a resilient Clallam County: its residents, organizations, community and systems.
MISSION
To build resilience through fostering trauma sensitive care and expanding the understanding of NEAR sciences for the benefit of everyone in Clallam County.
GOALS
EDUCATION: Expand knowledge and understanding of NEAR sciences across our County's individuals, families, and organizations
SKILL BUILDING & COLLABORATION: Foster trauma sensitive care among professional helpers, families, and other organizations with an emphasis on cross-sector system collaboration
CARE & WELLNESS: Promoting opportunities that impact the community wellness of and good continuum of care

The Alberta Family Wellness Initiative(opens in a new tab) has created a cartoon video(opens in a new tab) that describes the brain science behind resilience in a straight-forward and easy to understand way.
Community Collaboration
Thank you for attending the Hope Events over the course of two days that Dr. Hellman was on the Olympic Peninsula.
Over 400 people participated in events to expand the understanding of the Science of Hope and infuse collective hope across the North Olympic Peninsula. Representatives from Civic, Education, Faith Based, First Responder, Health Care, Justice, Social Services, Philanthropy, Private Non Profits showed up to learn more and engage in the framework.
Science Based Strategy
With more than 15 years of research into the science of hope and more than 20 years as a university professor, Dr. Hellman focuses on sharing the science and power of hope in our ability to overcome trauma and thrive in life. Dr. Hellman is widely recognized as one of the leading hope scholars in the world and is the co-author of “Hope Rising". The Science of Hope, implemented within an organization or entity, leads to a multitude of positive outcomes. From employee retention and increased profits to programs improving the lives of patients and clients, Hope Centered tactics truly make a difference.
Next Steps
Gathering and gauging community interest here for a Spring Hope Navigator Training, followed by a Community of Practice, and culminating in a Hope Summit. More to Come.

More than 50 different agencies formed and lead the Clallam Resilience Project alongside community members.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) offers the Four R’s as a helpful way to think about trauma informed care:
“A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed
realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery;
recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system;
and responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization.”
