Description: The Community Resiliency Model (CRM)® supports the well-being of service providers as well as the communities they serve.  CRM is a trauma-informed and resiliency-focused model that develops skills to help us tune in to, and respond, to our nervous system in recognition of our bodies biological response to trauma and chronic stress.

In this series of training sessions, we will focus on key concepts such as resilience, the nervous system, trauma response and memory while practicing six wellness skills that support regulation.

These skills can be learned and practiced by anyone regardless of age, culture or literacy level and are a great way to create a common wellness language between service providers, clients, and community.

Space is limited to 20 participants and is only available for staff from MANSO member organizations.

Who should attend? This workshop is intended for frontline staff of settlement and language service providers.

1. Develop a greater understanding of their body's biological response to trauma and chronic stress.
2. Feel better equipped to use trauma-informed practice in their work and community.
3. Learn concrete skills related to wellness that can be put into practice going forward.
