ABOUT THIS SERIES:

In February and March of 2024, Roots of Inclusion hosted a series of webinars with Robyn Gobbel focused on supporting children who have experienced trauma, struggle with regulation, or have otherwise vulnerable nervous systems.  This on-demand learning series is based on those webinars.

Behaviors that result from vulnerable nervous systems are often big and baffling. Children with vulnerable nervous systems need support with co-regulation, connection, and felt-safety. This on-demand learning series will help participants to:

·      Build an understanding of behavior through a neurobiological approach
·      Develop tools for examining behavior and identifying how best to respond
·      Identify strategies to address behavior based in dysregulation
·      Decrease the likelihood of baffling behaviors

Learn from this easy-to-understand model of addressing baffling behaviors based on Robyn Gobbel’s owl, watchdog, and possum brain, and fill your behavior toolbox with tools that really work so you can stop playing behavior whack-a-mole.

Registration is Required for this
