This two-part series gives educators and learning support staff a grounded, evidence-based framework for understanding and responding to volatile, emotionally intense, and challenging behaviours in children.

Across both sessions, participants will leave with:

• A clear understanding of the neuroscience behind dysregulation and conflict
  • Practical de-escalation protocols for volatile and emotionally intense behaviour
  • Evidence-based frameworks (LSCI and Collaborative Problem Solving) to use proactively and responsively
  • Emotional regulation strategies for themselves
  • The C.O.N.N.E.C.T & G.R.O.W Framework to structure difficult conversations.
