Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for primary care clinicians, emergency medicine clinicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and nurses.

The 2 fundamental goals of the CRM Workshop are to help individuals learn to track their own nervous systems in order to bring the body, mind, and spirit back into greater balance, and to encourage people to pass the skills along to family, friends, and their wider community.

 

Activity Overview:

 

The Community Resiliency Model (CRM)® equips community members to not only help themselves but to help others within their wider social network. The primary focus of CRM is to educate individuals about the biology and neurophysiology of trauma, stress, and resilience as well as teach simple biologically-based wellness skills, which can help reset and stabilize the nervous system. The Community Resiliency Model provides a biological perspective that reduces the stigma with regard to symptoms and creates a new paradigm by teaching wellness skills that help individuals and communities. CRM helps individuals understand their nervous system and learn to track sensations connected to their well-being. Being able to focus on sensations connected to well-being helps the nervous system begin to return to its normal balance or rhythm (referred to as the "Resilient Zone"). The goal of CRM is to help create "trauma-informed" and "resiliency-informed" communities that share a common understanding of the impact of trauma and chronic stress on the nervous system and how resiliency can be restored or increased using this skills-based approach.

This particular Community Resiliency Model Workshop teaches individuals the basic philosophy of CRM and introduces them to 6 wellness skills. The primary focus of our skills-based, stabilization program is to reset the natural balance of the nervous system. As the individual learns to use the CRM skills, one’s cognitions, emotions, behaviors, and physical symptoms can begin to change and even remit as the individual’s natural resiliency is restored.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

  • Identify and describe the 6 skills of the Community Resiliency Model (CRM)®
  • Identify and describe the key concept of the Resilient Zone and characteristics of being in the High/Low Zones
  • Describe the importance of interoception in promoting wellness
  • Explain 3 or more outcomes demonstrated in the research conducted about the Community Resiliency Model
  • Identify one or more of TRI’s collaborations that have helped introduce the CRM skills to communities across the globe
