| January 20 | Online | Community Resiliency Model (CRM): The Community Resiliency Model trains community members to not only help themselves but to help others within their wider social network.

Through CRM, individuals learn to read sensations connected to their well-being, which TRI calls the “Resilient Zone”. CRM’s goal is to help create “trauma-informed” and “resiliency-informed and -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.
