Training Description

During the intense circumstances over the last year and a quarter, many people have experienced increased levels of fight or flight/sympathetic dominance and so strategies to address fear, anger, overwhelm and stress are needed to effectively support system involved youth. In this class participants will have a chance to talk about their experiences over the last several months, explore how they can better help themselves and the system involved youth they support manage stress now and when things return to the “new” normal. They will learn simple somatic, sensory motor and energetic practices they can both use to regulate their own nervous systems and also teach system involved youth and families. Material will be taught through lecture, small group discussion, large group and dyadic practice.

Learning Objective

  • Explain how stress negatively impacts the nervous system of system involved youth and families;
  • Implement at least four new practices;
  • Articulate a plan for self-regulation when system involved youth are in crisis.
