Pathways to Learning

Recent advancements in neuroscience and a growing body of research are actively cultivating resilience into trauma informed approaches.

While adverse experiences can have a profound and lasting impact on health and well-being, they do not have to define an individual's future. The science of resilience shows us that the brain and body have a remarkable capacity for healing and adaptation. Concepts like neuroplasticity and neurogenesis demonstrate that the brain can create new neural pathways and cells throughout a person's life, offering a biological basis for recovery and growth.

This approach is universal, promoting whole-person care and empowering individuals to build a greater capacity for self-regulation and self-care.
