4-week Community Resiliency Model (CRM)®
for Mindfulness Practitioners
Overview
The Community Resiliency Model (CRM)® is an evidence-based training that aims to strenghten personal and community resiliency. Workshop participants receive instruction that help them understand how the nervous system functions in times of stress, trauma, and recovery, and a set of skills they can use to stabilize and re-set the natural balance of the nervous system when it is out of balance. Participants also learn how to use these skills to help others within their families and wider social networks.
The goal of CRM is to help to create trauma-informed and resiliency-focused communities where individuals share a common understanding of the impact of trauma and chronic stress on the nervous system and how resiliency can be restored using a skills-based approach.
