Center for Childhood Resilience

The Center for Childhood Resilience (CCR) is a small, non-profit organization based in Chicago, Illinois. With a team of three employees, CCR focuses on improving the mental health and well-being of children. CCR provides training and resources to adults working in schools and youth-serving organizations. Their goal is to equip these adults with the skills to foster resilience in children facing adversity. CCR utilizes innovative strategies grounded in evidence-based practices and cultural sensitivity. They reach out to schools, school districts, and other youth-serving organizations, employing a public health approach to address the impact of trauma. In addition to their training programs, CCR plays a crucial role in evaluating emerging best practices in the field of children's mental health. They actively collaborate with policymakers and communities to advocate for system-wide change that reduces health disparities and promotes mental well-being for children in their homes, schools, and communities.
