Episode 121: ANNOUNCING A NEW CAREGIVING INITIATIVE
We're excited to share a new initiative by our sponsor, Sonoma Coast Trauma Treatment, in support of caregivers and the vitally important caregiving profession. SCTT is launching a new strategic plan with the goal to provide education, support, training and resources for caregivers, to promote resilience and help prevent burnout. This effort will draw in part on unique, successful programs offered at the Bernstein Institute. In this podcast, we review portions of the strategic plan and share content from our caregiver support programs. The need for caregivers will grow dramatically in the future. Preserving the health and well-being of those willing to serve in this demanding profession is imperative.

Episode 123: HOPE IN ACTION: TRANSFORMATIVE RESILIENCE
Today's podcast emphasizes our conviction that hope is found in taking action. We continue to revisit "Type R: Transformative Resilience for Thriving in a Turbulent World", by Ama and Stephanie Marston, reviewing the skill of Active Engagement. We introduce and explain the six stages the Marstons identify for "turning adversity into growth". They are: 1) The Comfort Zone, or safety zone, when everything is familiar and unchanged, 2) Disruption, when change comes into our lives, 3) Chaos, a transitional state in which we have little control and yet must stay open to the process, 4) Catalyst, when an "aha moment" or glimpse of something new occurs, 5) Integration, a hopeful time of experimentation and creativity, and 6) Renewal, when we arrive at new confidence and competence, with a new sense of identity.
