Practical skills to reset your nervous system and cultivate well-being.
Course Description
The internationally used Community Resiliency Model (CRM)® written by Elaine Miller-Karas and developed by the Trauma Resource Institute teaches skills to help reset the nervous system before, during, and after highly stressful or traumatic experiences while also supporting well-being during activities of daily living. The wellness skills model is based on the biology of the nervous system and can be learned and shared by anyone because we all have a nervous system. The model teaches a common language to help identify and communicate when experiencing stress. It is a powerful tool to increase compassion and communication among people and communities. Individuals can learn the skills for themselves first and then they can also be shared with their family, children, students, parents, friends, neighbors to expand well-being and resilience.
