Outreach Workshops
Feedback from a John Lyster - Head of Loughshore Education Centre Belfast
I just wanted to thank you and your young people for coming to talk to our students in Loughshore. The feedback from our students was very positive and included
Teaching them the meaning of the word stigma. Giving them a chance to listen to other young people's stories regarding mental health. Being able to relate to feelings & issues that your young people have been through. Letting them know there is help out there. Emphasizing to our students the importance of good mental health. Giving them a chance to be heard during the session, many students said that you and the young people were brilliant at asking questions and giving them the opportunity to talk.Attendees will have the opportunity to tell their own story using different reflective prompts and exercises. The course is interactive and those participating will discover the craft of facilitating storytelling programmes with confidence.
The Community Resiliency Model © (CRM) are wellness skills developed by using the latest knowledge in neuroscience. CRM training helps individuals build their own personal resilience by understanding the biology of stress reactions. Enabling the participants to help gain an awareness of what is happening to their mind and body when stressed. Our training teaches us new skills to bring the body and mind back into a natural balance also known as our resilience zone.
It has been proven by practicing CRM skills, an individual’s wellbeing improves and resilience grows.
Voicing the Void can tailor CRM Training to suit your group or community needs. CRM training is straightforward and effective and a powerful way to improve and save lives.
Since taking part in CRM training, I am so much more aware of my own nervous system and how it impacts my mind and body. I find it easier to get myself back into my resilience zone and use the coping skills learned in the training. Would highly recommend.
