During the Resilience Literacy Virtual Institute—formerly the Racial Literacy Virtual Institute—participants develop foundational skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, and narrative practices to navigate stress tied to race, identity, and other high-stakes experiences.

You’ll engage in large and small groups, pairs, and independent activities designed to help you examine, process, and even reframe some of your most impactful experiences with identity and difference.

By the end of the training, you will be able to:

• Define and practice the skills of noticing, reframing, and resolving memories and experiences about difference—grounded in racial literacy research.

• Learn and apply at least three evidence-based stress regulation and mindfulness strategies.

• Process personal, professional, and organizational experiences of decision-making during stressful encounters to better understand your beliefs, behaviors, and leadership approach.
