Community Resiliency Model - Cherry Gulch, a therapeutic boarding school for 10 to 14 year old boys.

The Community Resiliency Model® (CRM) is a wellness model. 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.

At Cherry Gulch we train our students, staff, and parents in The Community Resiliency Model®. It is also integrated into our character growth curriculum for students to receive ongoing reinforcement of their skills development. CRM® trains individuals to not only help themselves but to help others within their wider social network. The primary focus of this skills-based, stabilization program is to re-set the natural balance of the nervous system.
