The 3 R’s of Resilience
Presented by: Ali W. Rothrock

This first session - The 3 R’s of Resilience: Regulate, Resource, Ritual - offers a practical introduction to building resilience from the inside out.

- Resource: Identifying inner and outer supports that help us recover
- Ritual: Creating grounding practices that restore agency and connection
Takeaway: A personalized “resilience map” for daily use
Workshop Overview:
This workshop is a 3-part series to support those seeking renewed resilience, grounding, and connection. Through a supportive blend of education, reflection, and practical tools, we will explore what recovery can look like at any stage of the healing process. Participants will learn approachable strategies for managing stress, strengthening emotional wellbeing, and cultivating a sense of stability and agency.
Learning Objectives:
- Gain trauma-informed tools to regulate their stress responses
- Strengthen their family and community resilience practices
- Understand and process survivor’s guilt in ways that foster connection and meaning
- Leave with concrete strategies and rituals that support ongoing healing
