In today’s complex world, escalating rates of burn-out, secondary traumatization, moral distress, and needless tragedy often characterize organizations whose human capital tools fail to keep pace with relentless change. Emerging demands require new approaches.
Social Resilience Model (SRM), developed by Threshold Globalworks, targets collective capacity building to amplify resilience within and across social systems. Developing collaborative networks, in which biological self-regulation becomes a core competency, SRM’s broad cross-sector focus builds strategic nodes of SRM trainers who foster, sustain and scale future resilience-building capacity.
Build capacity for creativity and generativity at all levels

Exercise prevention and invest during non-crises
Enhance human and social capital
Maintain on-going assessment and action
Engage stakeholders at all levels
Key Objectives
Foster social resilience initiatives within and across diverse global settings that:
Build on the natural capacity of humans for resilience
Target collective capacity-building
Utilize neuroscience concepts as the organizing architecture to build system-wide incorporation of Social Resilience Model’s neuroeducational knowledge base and self-regulation skills
Develop physiological self-awareness as a core capacity of contemporary top-down, middle-out and people-up leadership
Incorporate and utilize diverse insights and practices in all training materials and structures (“collaboration by difference”)
Train and link strategic constellations of stakeholders, across diverse entities as SRM Trainers
Develop high quality, low cost learning environments to promote sustainability and scalability
Create Resilience Sharing Networks (RSNs) that provide peer collaboration and support
Promote cross-sector linkages via advanced global learning technologies
Utilize broad but consistent cross-sector implementation and outcome evaluation to refine processes, elaborate training materials and formats, and assess impact
