3 Free CEU Credits for New Jersey Educators
Many students with social and emotional disabilities have impaired attention, challenges with emotional and mood regulation, sleep disturbances, and a lack of learning readiness. Trauma and toxic stress, which lie deep within the nervous system, add to these challenges. In order to transform a student’s habitual responses, they need to learn and regularly practice mindfulness skills when they are not in “fight – flight – freeze” mode.
Dr. Ange Puig will help educators identify stress responses, and describe practical strategies to help students use mindful practices to strengthen attention, increase compassion, and build resilience and self-regulation, moving them from “coping” to “thriving.”
This program is offered as an outreach service to the greater education community in and around Southern New Jersey. There is no cost for the workshop or lunch.
