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.

Challenging, triggering, and dysregulating situations are inevitable in the helping profession, especially for those who support children and families exposed to varying levels of trauma and toxic stress. Understanding how our bodies, minds, and emotions automatically respond to challenging situations provides us with not only the insight that allows us to increase our daily wellness, but mindful awareness to strengthen and build safe and secure interpersonal relationships with those we work with.  This training will take a deep dive into identifying and understanding the holistic body-mind-emotional impact of triggers, countertransference, and stress responses, and equip learners with techniques to increase self-regulation in order to give the best care to those we work with.
