Presented at the Australian Childhood Trauma Conference.

Restoring Resilience presented the GROW Working with Kids Program at the Australian Childhood Trauma Conference. The GROW program is an Ecological, Neuroscientific, Relational, Trauma Informed framework for Early Years Classrooms and Therapeutic Practice. The somatic interventions are specifically designed to help children resolve physiological states they may be stuck in such as flight, fight, and freeze. The GROW program is a synergy of Polyvagal, Somatic Experiencing and Relational Gestalt.

Here’s a picture of the Co-Founders of Restoring Resilience, Phyllis Traficante and Anna Skolarikis, with the support for our GROW program from trauma industry greats, Dr Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory) and Maggie Kline, whose work the GROW program has been built on.
