Attendees will acquire a set of biologically based skills from the Community Resilience Model (CRM)® that help our nervous systems manage daily stressors from a place of resilience or return to a resilient state of well-being following stressful events. Attendees will practice the skills for themselves and also hear examples of how they can bring attention and intention to what they are already doing to integrate these skills with themselves and with their students. Attendees will actively practice the skills of CRM and consider ways they can immediately incorporate them in their daily lives and professional practice.
