Understand My Brain to Understand My Behavior Workshop Turning Trauma Research into Practice

In order to take our situations from chaos to calm we welcome awareness between brain health and behavior by connecting the Social Emotional AlphabetTM to trauma-brain research. All past experiences, circumstances & stories determine physical and emotional regulation which can be communicated through anger, defiance and misunderstood intent. Learning the art of responding rather than reacting starts with self-regulation skills, trauma-brain awareness and a proactive mindset that resets everyday.

Using eight letters of Heidy’s Social Emotional AlphabetTM combined with the research of Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Lori Desautels, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Brené Brown & others you will gain necessary insight into the why behind behavior and learn what you can control with your Actions, Words & Expressions (AWE). This workshop model provides multiple opportunities for self-reflection and discussion with peers.

First 40 registrants will receive a copy of Soaring Balloons and Heavy Shackles that will be available at the workshop!

PDHs and CEUs will be available.

Your seat is funded by the Area 3 SEL Hub.
