February Thrive with Pride Cafe - Managing Stress and Trauma: The Community Resiliency Model
The Community Resiliency Model (CRM) is a resiliency informed approach to trauma and toxic stress centered on the idea that people are resilient. With it, people can learn to cultivate skills of well-being and how to reduce suffering. CRM prompts us to ask not only what is wrong, but what is right about each of us, and what are our strengths. CRM is about empowerment, and it teaches that regardless of our external stressors, we can develop skills that help us widen our resiliency zone and enable us to show up as our best selves.
Join Maureen Burns from The HAP Foundation as she leads participants through the model and how to incorporate resiliency skills into our lives.
Join us on Tues., Feb. 28 at 11 a.m. through Zoom or by calling 312-626-6799 and entering ID 966 6129 4106 at prompt.
