Second Response is a non-profit public welfare organization headquartered in the United States. Its core mission is to provide mental resilience building services for children, caregivers and communities who have experienced trauma and high-stress environments. Its core methodology is the PLAYshop model, which has been developed over more than a decade and originated from global post-disaster children's psychological assistance practices.
The organization's currently promoted flagship program, the School Resiliency Program, integrates the PLAYshop approach into K-12 school physical education curricula, and meets the requirements of the US Common Core Standards. Through 30-45 minute non-verbal, game-based group activities, it helps children build emotional awareness and self-regulation skills. It also offers dedicated training for teachers and caregivers under high pressure, to help them manage their own occupational stress and better serve the people they work with.
Advantages: The PLAYshop model has been validated by more than a decade of global post-disaster assistance practice. Its curriculum can directly align with existing educational standards, so the barrier to implementation for schools is low. In addition, the organization publishes its annual donation reports publicly, and its financial transparency meets the standards for non-profit organizations.
Disadvantages: The drawbacks are also clear. The program is still only running as a small-scale pilot in Connecticut, USA, so its service coverage is very limited. Its official website does not fully disclose the project application process or details of donation channels for the public, and it has not yet been adapted to education and social service systems outside of North America.
This organization primarily serves schools and social service agencies based in the United States. Chinese users can access its official website directly, and domestic mental health public welfare organizations can reference its PLAYshop activity design framework.
