When children become overwhelmed by negative emotions, they sometimes express their distress by acting out – running, yelling, damaging property, or becoming aggressive towards themselves and/or others. These situations can range from being distracting to dangerous. This presentation will help nurses, counselors, and other school staff to:
-
Understand the psychological and emotional vulnerabilities which can lead to a child becoming severely dysregulated
-
Recognize the early indications of distress and adjust their actions to prevent or minimize the reaction
-
Safely de-escalate a child who has become destructive or aggressive
-
Assist the child and staff in developing an increased awareness of the triggers and coping skills, to reduce recurrence and promote self-regulation
​
During the '22-'23 school year we must charge a $200 speaker’s fee. Scholarships may be available. Your support for state funding will help us return to offering presentations at no charge.​
