Building Blocks for Lifelong Resilience
The BB4L [Building Blocks For Life] is a simple guide outlining 6 ways to own our power and get stronger. This guide was designed to help those who have experienced high levels of toxic stress (aka chronic stress) and trauma. With the BB4L we are better equipped to process painful life experiences and utilize takeaways to prevent further stress.
The BB4L is simple to understand, and — over time, when implemented — will show positive outcomes.
What Could You Use More of In Your Life?
Our content creators and podcast guests talk about how they create the Building Blocks in their own lives. This is a lifelong journey that helps us feel stronger and find more joy in life. You deserve to build the life you want, and our Building Blocks are a great way to start that journey.
Protection
Safety and protection is a basic need and helps us to prevent stress and promote recovery.
Relationships
A good relationship can help us weather almost anything. But what’s a good relationship?
Coping Skills
What are things to feel good now that won’t make you feel bad later on? Coping skills are unique to you.
Confidence
You can do it. It just takes practice. Confidence builds, like a muscle.
Belonging
Storytelling
Building Block #1
Protection
We need safety and protection mentally, emotionally, and physically. Everyone has a right to it.
Here are just some of the videos on protection from our YouTube channel.
Protection: A Defense or Shield Against Trauma and Toxic Stress | Bounce Back Generation
In this video, Gene reminds us that Protection is like a shield that gives us a sense of safety from stress or trauma. Whether it’s a person, place, or practice, protection is crucial for building resilience and bouncing back.

Where’s one place you find protection? Is it a place you go to, or is it a space you make within yourself?

PROTECTION: Art Project for Protection. A Protection Shield
Protection, Bounce Back Generation's first of 6 Building Blocks to Resilience, is a necessary component of resilience-building. In order to grow, to face our fears, to move on, and to help ourselves and our children in becoming resilient, we have to start with safety. When we feel safe, we can operate from a place of stillness rather than reaction, and take the time to make healthy and sustainable choices.
Jeanette demonstrates how we can make our own protection shields inspired by a coat of arms.

-------------------------------------------
Meet us! ► https://bbgtv.org/who-we-are
Bounce Back Generation's mission is to help individuals, families, organizations and systems bounce back from toxic stress and trauma by building and sharing practical tools for resilience.
In 2011, we began our work as the Healthy Generations Project in a public housing community in San Francisco. A grandmother told us "we are all suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder" because of the constant presence of violent crime, drug use, poverty, institutional racism, and domestic dysfunction. That moment set us on a journey to understand how stress and trauma were impacting the community, and inspired us to work together to build resilience.

PROTECTION: Why You Need Protection
Protection allows us to focus on ourselves and begin to re-balance our brains and bodies after a traumatic or stressful situation. Protection can be a physical place, a friend to vent to, a non-judgemental space, a prayer, or just a feeling of calm in the middle of an ongoing difficult situation.
Routines, reliable information, and reassurances from adults are examples of protective factors for children. ????
What does protection look like for you?

PROTECTION: We need to Feel Safe and Protected to Heal.
A foundation for managing stress and dealing with traumatic events is having a protected place/people to recover from what happened. We also need safety and protection whenever possible (especially as kids) from things that can harm us mentally, emotionally, and physically. Liam talks about this essential Bounce Back Generation Resilience Building Block: Protection.

Coping Skills
Coping skills are as individual as a fingerprint. It’s up to us to find our safe and happy place. Basketball, yoga, a quiet walk, or talking with a trusted friend are some ways to cope. Our take: Ask yourself, will this make me feel good now and better tomorrow?
Here are just some of the videos on coping skills from our YouTube channel.
COPING SKILLS: Gene's Meditation Practice.
Resilience is all about self-regulation—noticing our emotions and befriending them so that we can bounce back in the moment. Sometimes, it takes a beat of stillness to notice our emotions at all. ????????♂️
Gene gives himself a moment to be still in his mindfulness practice, and shares his process here in his Shout Out to Mindfulness.
Our Shout Outs are our way of motivating, supporting, and encouraging you to be prepared and bounce back from your challenges. You are worthy, strong, and learning more by being here—you got this!

Belonging
Belonging is a basic human need. Being excluded is wrong — sometimes it’s up to us to create the space we want to belong and create it for others.
Here are just some of the videos on belonging from our YouTube channel.
BELONGING: Cooking for the Community During the Pandemic
Every Friday, Niesha, Keya, and Petra cook for the seniors in their housing complex in Potrero Hill, San Francisco. Now more than ever, they have to be careful for themselves, and the seniors who will receive their meals.
In this video, they take us on a journey of sharing meals safely, and share a couple recipes.
Be safe. Take care of yourselves, and each other!

⚡️ Who Are We? ⚡️
-------------------------------------------
Meet us! ► https://bbgtv.org/who-we-are
Bounce Back Generation's mission is to help individuals, families, organizations and systems bounce back from toxic stress and trauma by building and sharing practical tools for resilience.
In 2011, we began our work as the Healthy Generations Project in a public housing community in San Francisco. A grandmother told us "we are all suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder" because of the constant presence of violent crime, drug use, poverty, institutional racism, and domestic dysfunction. That moment set us on a journey to understand how stress and trauma were impacting the community, and inspired us to work together to build resilience.

STORYTELLING: Chris Bounces Back from Addiction
“So I opened up, and accepted the fact that I am an alcoholic. I am an addict. I have been my whole life. And I needed to get this right for my children. So, every assignment I was given, every program that I was going through, I involved both my daughters. I wanted them to know that daddy knew what he did. Daddy was not a bad person—dad was sick. Dad had a disease called alcoholism, but that doesn’t mean that dad can’t get cured. Dad can work at it for the rest of his life, and dad can stay sober. Dad can be there for them, and dad can never endanger them through alcohol or drugs ever again.”
Thank you, Chris, for sharing your Bounce Back Story.
