The Community Resiliency Model (CRM)’s goal is to help to create trauma-informed, resiliency-focused 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.
CRM trains community members to not only help themselves but to help others within their wider social network. The primary focus of this skills-based, stabilization program is to re-set the natural balance of the nervous system.

Please join us for a free virtual Connections Matter resilience training! As a two-part training taking place across two days, Connections Matter is designed to engage community members in building caring connections to improve resilience, prevent childhood trauma, and understand how our interactions with others can support those who have experienced trauma.
Everyday connections are more important than we ever believed. Science tells us that relationships have the power to shape our brains. Relationships help us learn better, work better, parent better. When we experience tough times, they help us heal. With each connection, we develop a healthier stronger community.
Connections Matter is a virtual training designed to engage community members in building caring connections to:
Improve resiliency,
Prevent childhood trauma, and
Understand how our interactions with others can support those who have experienced trauma.
