Children Can Learn Resilience and Overcome Hardship | Erica Greve | TEDxUniversityofNevada

Trauma research shows that some people who are faced with severe trauma and difficult circumstances, can develop a unique ability - a resilience - that helps them become more successful than other people who were not exposed to trauma and difficult circumstances like violence, sexual abuse, or divorce. Erica Greve, MSW, is the CEO and Founder of the anti-human trafficking organization Unlikely Heroes, and has spent more than 10 years working to rehabilitate child victims of sex slavery all over the world. Her dedication to seeing children overcome difficult circumstances has helped her pioneer successful tools and methods to help children heal from emotional pain. In this talk, Greve describes how child survivors of sex slavery have learned to use the skill of resilience to overcome their traumatic pasts and move into healthy outcomes. She offers practical tools we can all apply to our own lives to handle trauma and difficult circumstances that resilient kids use.

Erica Greve is the Founder and CEO of Unlikely Heroes, a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and restoring child victims of slavery worldwide. With restoration homes located in the Philippines, Thailand, Mexico and the United States, Unlikely Heroes is providing hope and freedom to some of the most vulnerable children in the world. Erica earned her MSW in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley. She has used her academic and real world experience to develop and implement effective prevention, rescue, and aftercare programs for the rehabilitation and restoration of sexually exploited children. In 2014, after the kidnapping of 276 girls in Chibok, Nigeria, Erica and her team were invited to provide emergency medical services, trauma counseling and direct support to some of the escaped schoolgirls and many of the mothers who were waiting to see the return of their daughters. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
