In this interactive and engaging presentation, you will learn about how cultivating self-awareness and self-care can buffer stress and prevent burnout.
Self-awareness, self-care and pathways to regulation allow one to have the restored energy reserves required to prevent burnout as well as to access grounding strategies when triggered emotionally. These concepts are foundational to trauma-responsive work as providers cultivate these practices to manage children's dysregulated behavior with kindness and compassion versus reactive and trauma-inducing interactions. This presentation is based on the work of *The Center for Optimal Brain Integration.

Several self-care strategies and tools will be introduced:

The Neurobiology of Stress on the Body, Brain and Behavior
Burnout and Compassion Fatigue
Zones of Self-Awareness and Cultivating Grounders in Times of Stress
Health and Wellness Toolkit
Biomechanics of Breathing to Regulate
S.T.O.P. Tool
Mindfulness Strategies

Learning Objectives/Outcomes:

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Discuss the physiology of stress and its impact on an individual's brain, body, and behavior
Explore and practice at least two different methods for raising self-awareness
Identify three or more functional strategies for promoting self-regulation and mindfulness.

*The Center for Optimal Brain Integration, founded by Julie Kurtz, is an organization that trains, coaches and consults on trauma-responsive practices and social-emotional strategies that build resilience.

Call to ACTION English Click Here in Spanish Here to let them know you are opposed to having a $1B proposed delay in implementing the rate increase to providers rates?

ACTION Needed to let the Members of the Senate Budget Subcommittee #3 know why they need oppose the Proposed $1B budget delay for Rate Implementation

The Senate Budget SubCommittee #3 on Health and Human Services (Senate.ca.gov/calendar) is meeting on March 21st at 9:30AM at the State Capitol, Sacramento.

"We need you to amplify that we are asking the committee members to REJECT the Governor’s proposed $1 billion need to amplify that we are asking the committee members to REJECT the Governor’s proposed $1 billion in cut to funding for disability services and supports.

Where Does Early Intervention Stand in the Proposed Governor's Budget 2024-2025?

Governor Newsom released his proposed budget on January 10th. He is suggesting that providers of service through the Department of Developmental Services be prepared for a "delay" in the roll out of the rate model funds. You can have a conversation about what does delay mean .....a cut or not. Basically the funds are not going to be passed along to the providers as promised and planned.

Department of Developmental Services Announces Stakeholder Committee to Create Master Plan for Developmental Services

As mentioned in the Governor's proposed 2024-2025 Budget, the Department of Developmental Services will create a Master Plan with a March 2025 deadline. Yesterday Dr. Mark Ghaly announced the appointed Membership for the Master Plan Committee. Developmental Services Master Plan Stakeholder Committee Appointment (ca.gov) - link to go with Membership for the Master Plan
Their first meeting is scheduled for March 6th. Subcommittees are to be formed to increase input from all communities serving the populations involved with the system.

"The reality is that the developmental services system cannot, nor should it, operate in isolation given the changing needs of the consumers and families we serve today.” said CalHHS Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly. “This means we must proactively think about how we connect the dots between systems and sectors, while more intentionally integrating developmental services to our work to serve the whole needs of the individual and their families."

The purpose of the Master Plan is, "...since 2019, the number of Californians served by the developmental services system has grown by 31%, with significant growth among children under the age of 22 who have an Autism diagnosis. Today, over 400,000 Californians receive services and supports through California’s 21 Regional Centers. Individuals who receive services today are more diverse and live longer. They face affordable housing shortages, lower rates of employment, and the challenges of accessing services from other systems and sectors to address their physical, social, and behavioral health needs. A 21st century developmental services system must increase its ability to provide culturally responsive services and to strengthen the accountability and standardization of the system so that it is easier for individuals and their families to navigate no matter where they live in California. "
