The Community Resiliency Model (CRM) trains community members to help themselves and others within their wider social network. The goal of the CRM is to create “trauma-informed” and “resiliency-focused” communities that share a common understanding of the impact of stress on our body, mind, and spirit — and our nervous system.

During this workshop, participants will learn to use strategies based on human biology and neuroscience, to create new neural pathways that strengthen the ability to cope when dealing with trauma, chronic stress, and/or simply bounce back faster from everyday normal stressors.

This workshop focuses on learning the biological basis of the model, the importance of a shared language, and learning the skills to implement CRM into their personal life.

Further learning opportunities focused on how to share the model with others and work toward implementing the model as a community and individual crisis intervention tool will be discussed.
