Weathering the Storms: Modeling Self-regulation Strategies for Youth

An unregulated adult cannot help youth regulate. They go, where we lead. Modeling a variety of appropriate coping and stress management skills can be the very best gift those that work with youth can give. Being able to recognize and regulate emotion is essential to building healthy relationships and to thriving in school and beyond.

• Learn to recognize and regulate emotion and foster positive relationships even in difficult situations.
• Discover a variety of coping and stress management skills that can be taught to others.
• Discover assessments to assist in understanding various aspects of self-regulation, both for the participant and the youth they serve.
• Participate in activities and model debriefing techniques that can be used with others to teach self-regulation.
