This training course is designed not only for those working with children and teens but also for anyone interested in learning how to develop robust, creative, and trauma-informed strategies for emotional regulation. Participants will gain practical, inspirational training that equips them to help individuals of all ages stabilize and expand their capacity to manage emotions effectively.

The course provides strategies to assist children, teens, and adults in broadening their window of tolerance and becoming less susceptible to triggers that lead to hyper-arousal (fight, flight, freeze) or hypo-arousal (dissociation, collapse).

Throughout the course, you will explore the five key steps to transforming behavior, learn to read emotional signals, understand the significance of behaviors, identify stressors, reduce them, and engage participants in a process of self-awareness and emotional growth.
