Community Resilience Model © (CRM) Training
The Community Resiliency Model © (CRM) are wellness skills developed by using the latest knowledge in neuroscience. CRM training helps individuals build their own personal resilience by understanding the biology of stress reactions. Enabling the participants to help gain an awareness of what is happening to their mind and body when stressed. Our training teaches us new skills to bring the body and mind back into a natural balance also known as our resilience zone.
It has been proven by practicing CRM skills, an individual’s wellbeing improves and resilience grows.
Voicing the Void can tailor CRM Training to suit your group or community needs. CRM training is straightforward and effective and a powerful way to improve and save lives.
Since taking part in CRM training, I am so much more aware of my own nervous system and how it impacts my mind and body. I find it easier to get myself back into my resilience zone and use the coping skills learned in the training. Would highly recommend.
