Community Resiliency Model - Helping Yourself and Others

The primary focus of this skills-based, stabilization program is to re-set the natural balance of the nervous system. The Community Resiliency Model's goal is to help to create "trauma-informed" and "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.

Workshop leader: Rev. Chrissy Ruehl, United Methodist Ordained Deacon, Trauma Resource Institute

How will it help you be BOLD? Our bodies can respond to trauma in ways that hinder us and don't allow us to be our true selves. Learning skills to increase resiliency allows us to practice mindfulness, being present in our bodies and focusing on Jesus.
