Data on participants in these workshops indicated that they had relatively good self-care and resilience skills and rated themselves as moderately resilient prior to the workshop. However, at the end of the workshop the vast majority (87+%) reported that they had learned a great deal, believed they had obtained skills that will enable them to be much more resilient, and that they would be very likely to use what they had learned in their work. They also gave very high ratings to the way in which the workshop was conducted. In other words, the vast majority of attendees reported that the workshop was very valuable in enhancing their personal resilience skills and their ability to help other people develop resilience skills and practices. Interestingly, those who reported the most positive views of the workshop were those who had higher self-rated skills prior to attendance. There were some differences in results among the five workshops with those in the Portland workshop reporting lower levels of resiliency prior to attending and being somewhat less likely to report that they had learned a great deal or would use what they had learned in their work. However, none of the attendees at the Portland workshop had negative views. Around half of the Portland participants noted that work was their reason for attending the workshop, which is a higher percentage than other workshops and could be part of the reason for these differences. However, it is impossible to tell from the present data set the source of these admittedly very small differences. An additional comparison analysis was completed after the first two Leaders Self- Care Workshops: March 2014 in Eugene, Oregon and June 2014 in Oakland, California. In places as seemingly dissimilar as Eugene and Oakland, the Transformational Resilience Leaders Self-Care Workshop had very similar and very positive responses, which strongly suggests that the methods and skills covered in the workshops are effective in building resilience skills and are applicable to different populations facing very different traumatic stresses.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USself-care workshopresilience skillsTRIGArticle
