Professionals working with Children and Young People play a pivotal role in helping them to navigate challenges, build resilience, and foster well-being. Incorporating insights from neuroscience into both the education setting as well as clinical practice offers a powerful way to deepen our understanding of behaviour, emotional regulation, and the therapeutic relationship. By recognising how the nervous system responds to stress, relationships, and environments, we can design more effective interventions that promote healing and growth as well as better educational and mental health outcomes. In this engaging webinar, Dr Lori DeSautels will explore how professionals working with children and adolescents - can apply insights from Applied Educational Neuroscience (AEN) to better understand the impact of the nervous system on behaviour and learning. AEN integrates neuroscience, psychology, and pedagogy, offering practical strategies that clinicians and educators can apply to improve outcomes for Children and Young People. Dr. DeSautels will provide evidence-based tools and strategies to help you to: - Understand the Role of the Nervous System in Behaviour: Learn how stress, trauma, and environmental factors influence nervous system states, and how this affects emotional regulation, cognitive functioning, educational outcomes, and interpersonal relationships.
- Recognise and Respond to Activation: Gain practical skills for identifying signs of nervous system activation in clients to enhance your therapeutic approach.
- Empower Neurodiverse Clients: Develop affirming, individualised strategies to meet the unique needs of neurodiverse clients and promote their strengths.
- Neuroplasticity - the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganise itself
- Engage Families in the Process: Learn techniques to guide families in using co-regulation and stress-reduction strategies that support emotional health beyond School, or therapy sessions.
- Enhance Therapeutic Outcomes: Integrate neuroscience principles to improve client engagement, emotional regulation, and long-term behavioural change and learning outcomes.
Why Neuroscience Matters The nervous system plays a central role in how Children and Young People experience their world, relationships, and stressors. Without awareness of how nervous system states influence behaviours and emotional responses, therapeutic efforts can miss the mark. By understanding the science behind these processes, clinicians and educators can design interventions that target the root of dysregulation, fostering better outcomes for clients. Whether you work with children, adolescents, or adults, this webinar will equip you with cutting-edge insights and practical tools to deepen your understanding of behaviour and improve outcomes for your clients. By grounding your practice in neuroscience, you can empower clients to heal, grow, and thrive. |
