Community Resiliency Model (CRM) Skills

Skill	Description	Training Participant Exemplar:
Tracking	Conscious awareness of body sensations, differentiating between pleasant and unpleasant; basis for all CRM skills	Nurse walking into a patient room: “I sense my body and am aware of my tight shoulders and shallow breathing. As I notice these, I notice that I take a deep breath and feel more relaxed.”
Resourcing	Something that brings a sense of peace, safety, joy, or calm and awareness of associated body sensations	Teacher with students: “We start the day by naming a source of joy, like a favorite toy, and name the body sensations that go with it—‘jiggly face’ and ‘bubbly chest’ are common ones.”
Grounding	Awareness of sensations of support and security in the present moment	Police officer: “Before I step out of my patrol car, I place my hand on my [bullet-proof] vest, rest it there for a second, and feel stronger.”
Gesturing	Spontaneous, comforting gestures used intentionally to move into a resilient state	Student feeling anxious: “I purposefully stand up straighter, push my shoulders back and my chest out, and I feel more confident and in control.”
Help now!	Emergency strategies used when one is in a very distressed state: quick, focused activation of senses	Social worker/mother working from home and feeling agitated: “I could look around the room and name the colors or objects that I see, usually just in my head, not out loud, and I feel calmer.”
Shift and stay	Using a CRM skill and intentionally lingering with the experience until the unpleasant sensation or emotion abates	Medical student: “I was frustrated and in a bad mood, and I thought of my beach resource, remembering the sensory details of that experience. I stayed thinking about it and noticing sensations for about 15 seconds and noticed a shift into a better emotional state.”
