- We are only just beginning to understand the long term impacts of adverse childhood trauma and how it can pervade into every aspect of an individual's life. The one factor that has been shown to lessen the impact of childhood trauma is resiliency; but how do we make children more resilient and what can we do as individuals to help those most in need of support? Jude Wood, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe, teaches us about the five protective factors and what we can all do to build a more resilient community. Originally from the UK, Jude started her career in politics and sport, but moved to the US in 2007 when she was given an opportunity to have a ‘direct and positive impact’ on the lives of young men and women. As staff and later the Executive Director of Wellspring, an international company specializing in residential, therapeutic programs for overweight and obese teens and adults, Jude was able experience first hand the many obstacles and struggles facing our youth today, but also the powerful impact of resiliency, success and transformation. Jude took this knowledge with her when she joined the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe in 2014. There she has grown membership of the Club by 110% and is about to break ground on a new Clubhouse; a 28 year old dream of the organization. Jude has a BA from the University of Durham and an MA in Business from the University of Warwick. Currently she sit on the Meyers Advisory Council, the El Dorado County Early Childhood Education Advisory Committee, the El Dorado Community Action Committee and the Leadership Lake Tahoe Taskforce among other groups. Jude lives in Meyers with her husband, son and dog and in her free time enjoys skiing, hiking, paddle boarding and watching BBC TV shows. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
