Building Your Bounce
Self-Paced Online Course
Teachers, parents, and all adults who educate and care for young children are invited to join Dr. Nefertiti Poyner, Early Childhood Specialist and National Trainer with the Devereux Center for Resilient Children, on a journey of discovering strategies that promote adult resilience. This self-paced learning experience shines a light on how adults who prioritize their own well-being have a greater capacity to provide the kind of high-quality care that young children deserve.

The Building Your Bounce: Promoting Adult Resilience Self-Paced Online Course invites participants to learn how thoughts, behaviors, and actions throughout the day can be used to promote resilience and better manage daily hassles and major life adversities. The course offers research-based, resilience-building strategies that strengthen relationships, promote healthy self-regulation, increase initiative, and teach participants how to be kinder to themselves. Through a series of challenges, participants are actively engaged in learning how the most ordinary moments in the day can transform how we engage with others, talk to ourselves in kinder ways, and find happiness and joy despite the challenges and adversities in life.
This course takes approximately 2.5-3 hours to complete, including interaction, reflection, and application of skills learned. To optimize the learning experience, participants should consider completing one or two sessions at a time rather than all six sessions at once. This approach allows for more reflection and time to apply skills. Keep in mind that you’ll have access for one year from when you are set up. In addition, because promoting resilience is a life-long commitment, participants are encouraged to revisit the sessions within that year of access and use the course “challenges” as ongoing resilience-building tools after the initial course completion.
