Daria`s Favorite Sites for Growth and Healing
Here's another valuable column from Counselor Daria M. Todor, ACSW, LCSW-C, on resources to help disaster victims bounce back from tragedies such as Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria:
_______________________________________________
The secret to post-traumatic growth and resilience lies in the ability of people to not only utilize their own natural abilities for coping and healing but to know how and when to be willing to learn new skills to repair and renew. Here`s a list of some favorite resources that people can use in developing and sustaining such growth.
- Happify.com. This is a free service but can be upgraded for a fee. I tried the upgrade for one year and found it helped me increase my meditation practice, which was a goal I had set that year. If you aren`t into meditation, there is a whole bunch of other things you can do on there-fun games, journaling, challenges. The site reports using evidence-based science on positive psychology and other approaches.
- Greater Good Science Center. This site is dedicated to studying and sharing research on mindfulness and happiness. There are free guided meditations you can access, articles and videos chock-full of info on the best ways to approach life problems.
- Positive Psychology Center. Research center based at the University of Pennsylvania that promotes training, education and dissemination of information on positive psychology (the study of strengths that enable individuals and communities to thrive), resilience and grit.
