Webinar:
This interactive presentation will explore an integrative clinical framework that supports children as well as the adults in their lives to regulate stress and anxiety. This framework incorporates current neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, developmental information, and a combination of cognitive, emotional, relational and physiological regulation strategies. The presentation will explore three main points of focus for addressing the regulation of stress and anxiety in the context of a system such as a family or school. The three main points of focus are (1) attend to your own regulation first, (2) focus on collaborative recovery (short term focus), and (3) provide support for healthier habits and reaction over time (long term focus). Examples of this approach in practice include groups offered in a school setting, training for teachers, and support for families. Participants will have the opportunity to apply this approach to case examples and consider how this approach fits with their current practice. Examples of workbooks for children, youth, and adults, and samples of summative stories that were co-created in a therapeutic setting will be available for review. Woven throughout this approach are threads of connection, compassion, and courage all resting on a foundation of awareness.
