Be a successful survivor

Mission

Successful Survivors Foundation is an educational non-profit which exists to encourage, educate and empower survivors of abuse to create personal and professional success. Successful survivors of childhood trauma show other survivors how to mine the lessons from painful experiences and apply them to their lives. These "lessons" include the survival skills we learned in the midst of turmoil such as reading facial expressions and body language; coping skills such as our sense of humor; and our many valuable and highly transferrable character traits including courage, determination, resourcefulness, and resilience. Successful survivors of childhood trauma are stronger than the average person. Our excellent work ethic and strong sense of loyalty, make us valuable at work and in relationships.

Purposeful Parenting Videos

You Can Do This Parent! A parenting video series that shows families healthy ways (and wrong ways) to deal with inevitable conflict.

These six videos represent the six most common causes of conflict in the home, including drugs, lying, stealing, angry outbursts, sexting and other inappropriate behavior.

These are NOT boring teaching videos! We hired a four-time Academy award winning producer and experienced actors to recreate the most common causes of conflict and tragedy in families. They act out the wrong way, get parenting tips from the pros, and then they re-create the scenes with what they've learned.

These powerful resources are completely free and they are often used for continuing education for foster parents and social workers.

Please use and share them! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6MYCsFQzDCmw-GCi-z6m1AX51e-03pfu
