About Resilience Groups

Resilience Groups are monthly support group meetings facilitated by Acknowledge Alliance’s trained mental health professionals for teachers, principals and educators to support their social and emotional wellness. Resilience Groups are a space where educators can come together to break down feelings of isolation, recognize each other’s efforts, practice resilience strategies and connect to purpose. They are the perfect opportunity for educators to fill their buckets so they can go forth and be their best selves for their students and communities.

Acknowledge Alliance currently offers three types of Resilience Groups:

1. Teacher and School Staff

2. Principal, Assistant Principal, Coaches and TOSA Leadership

3. BIPOC

About Our Work

Since 1994, Acknowledge Alliance (formerly the Cleo Eulau Center) has been building thriving school communities where students are equipped with lifelong resilience and teachers are empowered to be their best selves. Acknowledge Alliance was founded on the belief that when a child has a caring adult in their life who believes in them and their abilities, they can succeed despite adversities. Acknowledge Alliance counselors support the social emotional wellbeing of entire school ecosystems - from teachers to students, principals, administrators, and family members across 20 K-8 schools and district offices in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our staff are highly trained mental health professionals that deliver a wide range of services to meet the different needs of students, educators, school staff, and administrators. These services include:

• Resilience Consultation: On-site support for teachers and administrators, including check-ins, observations, and mediation. Focus areas may include strategies for dealing with stress, effective communication strategies and other types of strengths-based coaching.

• Teacher Resilience Groups/ Principal & Leadership Resilience Groups: Build the resilience of educational staff through facilitated small group conversations. These give staff the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with colleagues, be listened to, and learn effective strategies for coping with stress in a safe and confidential space.

• Project Resilience/ Social Emotional Learning (SEL): Lessons delivered in the classroom to students in 3rd-8th grade using original curriculum developed by Acknowledge Alliance. Project Resilience lessons align with CASEL’s core competencies and include topics such as mindfulness, communication, problem solving, decision making, character strengths, and more.

• Student Counseling: For K-8 students identified as needing clinical intervention for issues such as engagement with learning, trauma, peer relationships or other areas.

• District-level professional development, district working groups, and parent education sessions
