Your Journey Together Resilience-Building Parenting Curriculum

Your Journey Together (YJT) is a strength-based curriculum designed to promote the social and emotional well-being and resilience of vulnerable children and their families. It focuses on empowering parents to promote safe, trusting and healing environments – all key elements of a trauma-sensitive program. While this resilience-building parenting curriculum is designed for families with young children (infants, toddlers, preschoolers) many of the concepts apply to families with children of all ages. It shows parents how to use ordinary, everyday routines, activities and interactions as resilience-building opportunities. YJT is listed on the Parenting Curricula Review Databases for Head Start and Early Head Start programs.

The YJT kit includes all the resources a coach needs for implementation:

• YJT Coach Guide with 29 step-by-step lessons and parent handouts (266 pages)
• Building Your Bounce: Simple Strategies for a Resilient You
• Parent Guides and Strategy Resources
• Coach Portal, which provides web access to parent handouts (in both English & Spanish), presentations to support group workshops and videos
