Cobb Collaborative is proud to be a part of this strategy to support vibrant learning and brain development among infants and toddlers. Come alongside us as we administer this evidence-based approach that boosts brain development and learning. To give every child a great start in life, all you need are The Basics!

The primary focus of the Community Resiliency Model (CRM)® is to re-set the natural balance of the nervous system. THIS TRAINING IS VIRTUAL. CRM’s goal is to help to create “trauma-informed” and “resiliency-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. CRM is a skills-based wellness and prevention program that provides a biological, non-stigmatizing perspective on normal human reactions to stress and trauma. Thanks to Resilient Georgia for sponsoring this event.
This training focuses on the impact of complex trauma on behavior and development, and helps participants identify strategies for working in a school setting with children who have experienced trauma.
