You were never created to live depressed, deflated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. Sharing the podcast could make all the difference to someone feeling connected or not.
Ever wondered how to help children develop resilience? In this episode of 'Two Roads Travelled', hosts Jo and Paula sit down with Ryan, an expert in alcohol and drug support, to discuss how kids can build the inner strength to handle life's challenges. Ryan shares his passion for making a difference, emphasizing the importance of addressing trauma early on to prevent it from affecting adolescence and adulthood.
He brings a wealth of personal experience and professional insights, having played a crucial role in Paula's own recovery journey. The conversation dives into the nuts and bolts of resilience, including internal and external factors that contribute to a child's ability to bounce back. Ryan introduces the 7 C's of resilience, offering practical tips on interventions and preventions that can be put in place to support young people.
He stresses the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where kids feel comfortable expressing themselves. Ryan also sheds light on the impact of trauma and how trauma-informed care can aid in recovery. He explains concepts like the amygdala hijack, making complex psychological phenomena accessible and relatable. The discussion covers essential topics like communication, mental health management, and the role of significant adults in a child's life.
Throughout the episode, Ryan's message is clear: resilience is not just about bouncing back; it's about building a strong foundation for life. By focusing on self-awareness, forgiveness, and the process rather than the outcome, parents and caregivers can help children develop the skills they need to navigate life's ups and downs. This episode is packed with valuable advice and heartfelt stories that will leave you feeling inspired and equipped to support the young people in your life.
