Hamilton County YAB members Yonnae, Celebritty and Saphire participated in a series of videos with the founder of Finding Hope Consulting, Mary Vicario and MelissaRoshan (MelRo) Potter.
They participated in mini role-playing scenarios to help connect the concept of trauma informed care to real-life situations.
The videos will be used to train teachers, counselors and others on how to properly access, respond and assist youth experiencing a crisis. They include:
- Sharing Our Experiences: Youth Advisory Board
- Building Our Resilience with the Youth Advisory Board
- Finding Hope Consulting for Educators
- Collaborative Problem Solving
Hamilton County YAB members were able to share what educators did to support their resilience. Celebritty talked about a series of guidance counselors who supported her at times when she needed help the most. Including one who stayed in touch with her from the time when she was 14 to age 23. "There's always one person in the school system that any youth, whether you're in foster care, adopted, or in a living family but you just need somebody because at that time, you don't know how to cope with whatever you're going through that's rocking your world."
They were also able to to reflect upon the experience of being in this video was like and what they learned. For example, Yonnae shared that she learned a lot about communication, self-regulation and awareness of the feelings of others. She knew about these things before, but shared how practice has helped her in real-life situations.
