In collaboration with El Porvenir Services:
Introduction to the Community Resiliency Model
December 20, 2023,
9AM - 12PM PST
Live & Recorded on Zoom
Are you ready to upgrade your skills for navigating all of life’s current challenges?
Are you feeling anxious about the state of the world and struggling to figure out how to cope with daily life?
Are you quick to lashout but regret it later?
Do you feel numb and shutdown and want strategies for reclaiming joy amidst the chaos?
Are you exhausted by customers, clients or colleagues who are frustrated, activated, aggressive or anxious?
Do you want to learn a set of wellness skills to help you find more inner stability and take more intentional action?
Join Carlos Kareem Windham, of El Porvenir Services, and Theresa Logan, of Subduction Consulting, for a live and interactive Introduction to the Community Resiliency Model (CRM). Created by the Trauma Resource Institute, CRM trains community members to help themselves and their wider social network with a series of simple skills to reset the natural balance of the nervous system.
The Goals of CRM are:
To learn simple biologically based skills, based upon current neuroscience, to help individuals get back into balance in body, mind and spirit.
To educate about common reactions resulting from individual or communal traumas/stresses such as poverty, racism and family violence.
To reduce common human reactions related to stressful/traumatic experiences.
To shift perceptions that reactions are biological rather than mental weakness in order to reduce shame and increase hope.
To encourage individuals to integrate wellness skills into their daily life.
The majority of the session will be spent practicing the CRM skills individually and/or in small groups.
The session will be hosted on the Zoom platform. Auto-generated captions will enabled and available for accessibility.
