Trauma Resources and Interventions
Early Life Stress and Resilience Program
The Early Life Stress and Resilience Program (ELSRP) has compiled resources, interventions, and techniques suitable for various traumatic circumstances and holistic stress management. We have four resource lists, each focused on a different audience: 1. those helping children and adolescents generally, 2. parents and caregivers, 3. frontline workers and mental health providers, and 4. teachers and educators. Each downloadable PDF begins with a compassion box to start the exploration of the resources.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency or feel like you may be of harm to yourself or others, please contact your local hotlines or access national hotlines (U.S. Emergency 911 and Suicide Prevention 988 found here).
