April 30th General Meeting
Join us for the Resilient Georgia April General Meeting, Resilience in Action: Showcasing the Community Resiliency Model Across Georgia, on April 30 from 11:00 AM–12:30 PM via Zoom. This interactive session will highlight how partners across the state are using CRM to support emotional well-being and build resilience in diverse settings, including schools, healthcare, juvenile justice, and community organizations. We are honored to have Elaine Miller-Karas, founder of the Trauma Resource Institute and developer of the Community Resiliency Model, join us for opening remarks and an overview of the model to provide context. Participants will gain practical insights, hear real-world examples, and explore ways to bring these strategies into their own work.
