Welcome to the REACH Learning and Resource Hub

The Center of Childhood Resilience is launching a new and improved Learning & Resource Hub in July 2024. It is currently under construction and will be available soon.

The REACH Learning and Resource Hub provides free, virtual on-demand learning and education resources to help educators, clinicians, parents, and caregivers better support the mental health and resilience of the children and youth in their communities.

The Hub focuses on trauma-responsive practices and policies, and fosters personal and professional resilience, social-emotional awareness and self-care.The Hub utilizes free, on-demand learning experiences for all school staff members, educators and clinicians as well as parents and caregivers.

These courses are meant to be interactive; clicking into the quizzes, drop-downs, videos, and responding to discussion starters after each learning module.

Some learning experiences include:

• Introduction to Trauma

• Trauma, Racism and Equity

• Psychological First Aid

• Adult Social and Emotional Learning

• Classroom Strategies for Trauma-Responsive Schools

To date, over 6,000 individuals across Illinois have accessed the REACH Learning and Resource Hub to learn more about how to support students’ mental health and well-being.

Here is what people are saying:

As a part of our partnership with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), educators who complete this e-learning can earn professional development hours. These are available to Illinois educators, administrators, school staff and school counselors. To earn PEL hours, participants must complete a short survey at the end of each training; then a certificate of attendance will be provided. Center for Childhood Resilience is an approved provider for ISBE professional development.
