When we first began sharing the Trauma Resiliency Model® (TRM) and Community Resiliency Model® (CRM), we were knocking on doors with big ideas and a vision to empower communities. But to truly transform care, having a strong, rigorous research base is essential.

Thanks to the dedication of extraordinary research partners—including Dr. Beverly Buckles (Loma Linda University), Dr. Lindy Grabbe (Emory University), Dr. Kimberly Freeman, and Dr. Ingrid Duva—we have built that foundation. Today, we are so proud to share that CRM is an evidence-based practice.

At our upcoming 20th Anniversary Conference, these pioneering researchers will be leading workshops to share cutting-edge research behind our models, where we stand today, and where this work is headed in the future.

Join us in person in Southern California or virtually from anywhere in the world to explore the science of resiliency!

When: October 2–4, 2026

Dr. Jabr joins us to discuss her book, Radiance in Pain and Resilience: The Global Reverberation of Palestinian Historical Trauma.

Her work challenges us to expand the way we understand trauma. Western approaches to trauma have often focused primarily on what happens within an individual—the symptoms a person experiences and the treatment that may help that person recover. But what happens when trauma is shared across families, communities, and generations? What happens when the source of trauma is not entirely in the past?

And perhaps most importantly, how do we talk about resilience without romanticizing suffering or placing the burden of adaptation solely upon those who have been harmed?

Today, we will explore these questions and consider what the Palestinian experience can teach the global community about historical trauma, collective resilience, dignity, and our shared humanity.
