Growing Stronger Together is a 4-session model for working with adults who have experienced adversity in their childhoods, the model can be used as a 1:2:1 or small group intervention and can be adapted for staff training. It is a psychologically informed training model with on-going group supervision support which develops skills in Compassion, Acceptance and Relationships – CAR. 
 

Growing Stronger Together is based on the Growing Stronger Response Framework in Liverpool (Growing Stronger) which aims to help people of all backgrounds and ages within the local area build resilience for and protection from Adverse Childhood Experiences, (ACEs). Growing Stronger Together specifically addresses the third goal of the project. 
 

The project takes a strength-based approach and has three main goals:

1.     Preventing ACEs from occurring

2.     Supporting children who may be affected by ACEs

3.     Supporting adults who may be affected by their own ACEs - evidence tells us that working on this aim will have a positive impact on the first two aims
