The Community Resiliency Model® (CRM) introduces participants to six wellness skills to help create “trauma-informed” and “resiliency-informed” individuals and communities that share a common understanding of the impact of trauma and chronic stress on the nervous system. Resiliency can be restored or increased using this skills-based approach. CRM® is an effective tool to be used for self-care and is especially helpful for those community members who are the front-line workers, responding to crisis situations or who live in highly traumatized and/or marginalized communities. The CRM® course teaches community members the basic skills in a two-day course that orients the learners to all six skills of the model and allows the skills to be practiced in small structured groups in order to increase proficiency in using the skills.
Participants will be able to:
- Discuss how CRM® skills are based upon current neuroscience.
- List 5 common reactions resulting from trauma and stress.
- Describe how CRM® reduces trauma symptoms.
- Utilize the six skills of CRM®.
- Describe explicit and implicit memory.
- Describe the autonomic nervous system.
Who should attend:
- Mental Health Practitioners
- Social Workers
- Members of Faith Based Organizations
- Non-Governmental Organizations
- Public Health Professionals
