abstract="The Building Resilience Project (BRP), a project that was developed in Israel in the wake of terrorism and war, was implemented in Biloxi, Mississippi one year after Hurricane Katrina. The BRP is a teacher-based intervention that focuses on empowering teachers to cope with their own stressors and those of their students in the aftermath of trauma. This article examines the ecological model of the BRP, and offers a description of the teacher workshops while also providing the rationale for implementing a teacher-based intervention in Biloxi. Feedback and follow-up data from participants' self-reports is presented, as well as recommendations for future implementation.
