The Community Resiliency Model is evidence-based and trains community members to support themselves and others within their community. The primary focus of this skills-based, stabilization program is to reset the natural balance of the nervous system. The goal is to help create “trauma-informed” and “resilience-focused” communities that share a common understanding of the impact trauma and chronic stress have on the nervous system and how resilience can be restored or enhanced through this approach. Participants will learn practical tools to help balance their nervous system through engaging in hands-on activities, discussions, and practice.

We are limited to 15 participants. Sign up today to reserve your spot. If the session is full, we will contact you and let you know that we have added you to a waiting list and you will also be notified first of any upcoming sessions.

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer- the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Anyone including parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, doctors, ministers, coworkers, and firefighters can learn to recognize someone at risk of suicide, know how to offer hope and how to get help and save a life!

The Community Resiliency Model is evidence-based and trains community members to support themselves and others within their community. The primary focus of this skills-based, stabilization program is to reset the natural balance of the nervous system. The goal is to help create “trauma-informed” and “resilience-focused” communities that share a common understanding of the impact trauma and chronic stress have on the nervous system and how resilience can be restored or enhanced through this approach. Participants will learn practical tools to help balance their nervous system through engaging in hands-on activities, discussions, and practice.

We are limited to 12 participants. Sign up today to reserve your spot. If the session is full, we will contact you and let you know that we have added you to a waiting list and you will also be notified first of any upcoming sessions.
