This practice exam for AIRS Certification as a Community Resource Specialist (CRS) examination consists of 50 questions while the full exam contains 100 questions.
This practice exam for AIRS Certification as a Community Resource Specialist (CRS) consists of 50 questions while the full exam contains 100 questions. The questions are in the same format and weighted in the same proportion in subject area as the full exam. Success in the practice exam does not guarantee success in the full exam, but it will provide you with some realistic preparation for the actual experience. Although this practice exam contains no questions specific to I&R within Aging and Disabilities, this is also a useful preparation for CRS-A/D candidates because of the overlap of questions between the CRS and CRS-A/D examinations. Please note that some of the questions within this practice exam might be using the "old" designation of an "Information and Referral Specialist" or a "CIRS."

We all have many things to balance in our lives, and the line between work and home seems to be becoming more blurred with each passing pandemic day. Sometimes it seems we are always in a reactive mode, constantly putting out little fires here and there, leaving us feeling like we never actually get anything on our "to do" list done. As the tasks pile up around you (begging for your time and attention)... how do you decide what to prioritize and what to set aside?

George Bonano, professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University, has learned through his intense studies of grief that there is no one way to cope that is best, and that resilience is an outcome...not an aspect of character or even a skill you acquire. Using Bonano’s research (with a healthy mix in of the Multi System Model of Resilience from some smart folks at Ryers University), we will explore more about how eating a bag of chips can be considered adaptive coping, how talking to friends about the problem can be maladaptive coping, and explore a 3X3 model of recognizing and even cultivating resources in your life that can lead you to a resilient outcome every time... on the path and in the way that feels best to you.
(45 minute session)
There are (what feels like) countless articles, videos and even websites that tell you they have a mythical and magical list of things you can do or practice that will make you resilient (I’ll wait here a minute while you google it to verify my claim). Although those lists can be helpful in their own way, they can also be misleading by making you think that if you have checked all the boxes on the list...you are indeed resilient. Which is actually not true.
George Bonano, professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University, has learned through his intense studies of grief that there is no one way to cope that is best, and that resilience is an outcome...not an aspect of character or even a skill you acquire.
Using Bonano’s research (with a healthy mix in of the Multi System Model of Resilience from some smart folks at Ryers University), we will explore more about how eating a bag of chips can be considered adaptive coping and how talking to friends about the problem can be maladaptive coping. We will further outline and explore a 3X3 model (see takeaways below for additional details) of recognizing and even cultivating resources in your life that can lead you to a resilient outcome every time... on the path and in the way that feels best to you.
Please make sure you have your phone handy, as well as a paper and pen for drawing out the model for your reference and to add personal notes and reflection. I also highly recommend having a snack on hand you enjoy :)
Key Takeaways:
- Understand what makes a coping mechanism adaptive or maladaptive (spoiler...it's not what you think)
- Outline the 3 mindsets that are linked to resilient outcomes and that allow you to focus on the task at hand in a constructive way
- Outline “The Sequence” - 3 sets of questions that help you determine what you need to do for yourself in a specific situation to get closer to a resilient outcome
- Outline the 3 systems/layers of resilience (internal, coping and pursuits, external) and brainstorm a list of what resources you already have access to in those systems and which ones you could cultivate
- Use the MSMR tool/app to scientifically and empirically evaluate the potential for your own resilient outcomes based on what resources in each system you have access to now

After completing this course, you will be able to identify the range of services that I&R clients need, define main providers, and describe the main sectors of human services and some key programs.
Human services refer to the ways in which the needs of an individual, family or community can be met – for issues that are not usually day-to-day commercial transactions. Community services, social services and health services are all part of ‘human services’ and each of those main components – community, social and health – have definitions that are likely to overlap each other.

The language we use is powerful and can reveal hidden assumptions we might not realize we have. Our words can be hurtful even when will-intended. This webinar is designed to allow participants to explore new ideas, ask questions and challenge some assumptions about what it means to live with a disability. Ableism shows up in our organizations whether we intend it to or not; this webinar invites professionals to learn new ways of thinking and talking about disability
