The Science and Practice of Co-Regulation

Join Swindells Resource Center and Advanced Pediatric Therapies for this introduction to the science of the human nervous system and its safety needs. Jennie Ehleringer MAEd, CYT, will address how our nervous system operates and ways we can use this knowledge to positively support our children through co-regulation. . The strategies and tools shared will be immediately accessible to help families and professionals cultivate internal safety cues that influence external behaviors. She will explain what our nervous systems need, why, and how to harness this knowledge to co-regulate with our families.

In this class we will learn more about:

• How stress affects our nervous systems
• What co-regulation is and how it can be used to support our children
• Structures to help build resilience within our own lives and our children's lives
• Tools to use in the moment of extreme stress to support ourselves and our children
