Phyllis Traficante and Anna Skolarikis are the Co-Founders of Restoring Resilience. They are Gestalt psychotherapists, Somatic Experiencing (SE) Practitioners/ SE Assistants to the trainings/SE Consult Providers and Clinical Supervisors.
Restoring Resilience emerged from a deep connection and alignment between Anna and Phyllis and desire to share their passion for healing individual stress, overwhelm and trauma in family, educational, organisational and collective settings. In 2016 they developed the Working with Kids workshop which evolved into the GROW program. The program consists of a unique trauma prevention and trauma resolutions framework, based in Gestalt, Polyvagal Theories and Somatic Experiencing.
The Restoring Resilience GROW Programs:
- GROW Working with Children for Educators
- GROW Working with Children for Therapists and Practitioners
- GROW Parenting
- GROW Your Organisation
The Evidence Based GROW Working with Children program, is one of the first trauma prevention and trauma resolution frameworks to have been translated and implemented in family, educational and organisational settings.
