The Nervous System Resilience Model
Creating Change Through Nervous System Regulation
A holistic package of support for your staff and parents, which ensures that children are at the centre. Staff and parents will have access to training and workshops, which will equip them with the knowledge and tools to bring about actual change to home and school life.
Aims
To build resilience through:
Developing awareness of internal processes and practicing change
Recognition of the Brain-Body-Behaviour Connection and empowering self-regulation
Increasing the availability of external resources to enable relational repair
The Nervous System Resilience (NSR) model has two core aims:
Developing awareness of INTERNAL processes (through psychoeducation and therapeutic practices)
Creating change through developing EXTERNAL resources (embedding relational approaches and environmental awareness)
