The Community Resiliency Model (CRM)® is a skills-based wellness and prevention program that provides a biological, non-stigmatizing perspective on human reactions to stress and trauma. The primary focus of this stabilization program is to learn to reset the natural balance of the nervous system, using the body itself. CRM skills help people understand their nervous system and learn to track sensations connected to their own wellbeing. This low-intensity intervention teaches easy-to-learn skills to manage difficult emotions which can be brought on by stressful personal or professional situations. In this 1.5 hour training, attendees will gain knowledge of concepts to understand their own and others' stress responses and the skills to regain emotional balance when buffeted by strong negative emotions.
Learning Objectives:
1) Describe how stress and trauma affect mental and physical health
2) Explore how current challenges fit into CRM's framework for understanding stress and trauma
3) Describe how CRM can protect and heal via sensory-motor awareness.
4) Explain how you can share CRM skills with others as a "CRM Guide"
