Join us in an interactive workshop for professionals who support adolescents ages 10-19 to learn the fundamentals of Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) and the key benefits for both individuals and communities. Participants will be familiarized with and receive a copy of "Social and Emotional Learning in Practice: A Toolkit of Practical Strategies and Resources” by the University of Minnesota. We will explore how to use data to make improvements, and learn about accommodations when implementing SEL to better meet the needs of all adolescents, particularly adolescents with disabilities or IEPs.

This session is for anyone who has to do any sort of academic planning and struggles to make it engaging and to keep kids interested. We will use the concepts of TBRI (an attachment-based approach to behaviors derived from a trauma history) to create connection but create that connection using curriculum and academic content. This will start to give you the ideas and skills needed to nurture academic success while creating connection which will decrease the negative behaviors. You will leave this session with ideas you can immediately return to your program and use.

Now more than ever, our youth need social support and a sense of belonging outside of school time. This session explores how neuroscience can inform the way we facilitate learning experiences and healthy group dynamics. We’ll dive into the basics of neurotransmitters and their functions, the way stress affects the developing brain, and the link between mindfulness and emotional regulation. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the mind and an actionable toolkit of techniques to cultivate a culture of social growth.
