Healthy Blue Initiative Community Resiliency Model® Teacher Training Application
Are you a natural leader in your community who is passionate about learning, sharing, and teaching skills to help support the well-being of your community? Do you have time in your schedule to provide workshops, usually about two days a month? If, so we invite you to apply!
The Healthy Blue Initiative is working to increase the health and well-being of children in foster care, their families, and caregivers. To that end, there is an opportunity for each of the six counties involved with the initiative to be able to send 1-3 people to become certified Community Resiliency Model® Teachers. With this certification, they can provide workshops to teach the biology-based self-regulation model to help folks learn to recognize and manage stress and to teach the six wellness skills to enhance overall well-being.
The training is being paid for by Healthy Blue and is around $1900 per person. When applicable, a stipend to cover the 5-day training time will be available for community leaders who are unemployed, or if employers would not provide paid time off to attend the training.
Being certified enables teachers to be paid by state or community organizations for offering the course. Some trainings will likely be scheduled for the teachers.Teachers are usually paid for their time at a rate up to $50 an hour (if not already being paid by your organization).
