Virtual Instructor Led Training

System-involved youth experience disproportionate levels of stress compared to their non-system-involved youth. Under stressful situations the amygdala is activated, making it difficult to learn or make rational decisions. Highly stressed youth and staff in learning environments have difficulty learning and teaching. Learning and using self and co-regulating exercise from the field of Energy Medicine and Energy Psychology provide resources to downregulate the nervous system, which facilitates learning and teaching.

Using a trauma informed approach, participants will learn how the nervous system is impacted by stress and trauma, techniques to calm the nervous system and ways to use these techniques to calm and build resilience in learning settings such as the community that serves youth and families.
