Resilience Skills Training Program

The My Brain Buddy Resilience Skills Training program provides a structured, neuroaffirming foundation.

Resilience Skills Training is delivered in small groups, either online or in person. The small group size allows for connection while maintaining privacy. Sharing is always optional, and you are encouraged to participate at a level that feels right for you.

Across the five-session program, participants:

build shared language around brains, bodies, stress, and capacity
develop practical, low-demand resilience skills
explore co-regulation, emotional safety, and everyday supports
identify strengths and protective factors

Each session builds toward a simple, doable Family or Individual Support Plan that can be used at home and adapted over time.

This training forms the starting point for most participants.

Getting started is risk free; you may opt out during Session 1 and request a full refund if the program is not the right fit for you.
