• Filling the Gaps in Supporting Educators in Scaffolding Self Regulation in the Classroom

    Join us for this 2-hour course as we identify and fill the gaps in supporting students and educators!

    Educators are working harder than ever to teach social-emotional skills, yet many still feel frustrated when students struggle to apply what they've learned—especially when it comes to behavior and self-regulation. The reality? Most SEL programs are missing key components. Without the right scaffolding, students may understand self-regulation strategies in theory, but when big emotions hit, they can’t access or use them effectively. This can lead to a cycle of frustration for both educators and students. In thistraining, we’ll uncover what’s missing and how mental health professionals and others working with adults can support educators in making simple but powerful shifts that integrate intentionally developing self-regulation skills daily in the classroom.  

    What You’ll Learn:

    ✔️ The hidden gaps in many SEL programs that prevent students from self-regulating.

    ✔️ How to scaffold self-regulation skills so students can apply strategies independently—even in moments of stress.

    ✔️ Small, practical shifts educators can make in their daily routines that lead to lasting behavior change.

    Who Should Attend? This training is designed for school-based and clinical mental health professionals and other school professionals who support educators and students. Whether you work directly in schools or in private practice, you’ll leave with insights and tools you can use immediately to help educators bridge the gap between teaching self-regulation and students actually using it when they need it most.

    💡 Join us and learn how to make self-regulation easier—not harder—for both students and educators.

    • Becoming an external regulator to support children with integration and repatterning the activation of their nervous system.
    • Supporting healing at deeper levels through right brain to right brain attuned communication.
    • Teaching children interoceptive (body) awareness (...the key ingredient for self-regulation and co-regulation). 
    • Creating a neuroception of safety for a child when emotional flooding happens.
    • Setting boundaries with the brain in mind to not minimize, shame or shut down the child's play, but keep them engaged in their therapy process.
    • Building collaborative relationships with caregivers to support their child's therapeutic process.
    • Developing goals, tracking a child's therapeutic process, and translating what's happening during the child's therapy session to their caregiver(s) and others in the world.
    • Helping children develop a secure attachment to themselves (...a foundation of resilience).
    • Applying SPT concepts from a cultural lens for a more inclusive and culturally sensitive clinical orientation where a client's unique experiences and needs are honored.
    • How to feel a little more like YOU in the therapy process (...because we know inauthenticity is the fastest way to burnout and compassion fatigue). 
    Learn all of this and so much more! Online Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy is a comprehensive 32-hour program that explores the foundational skills of SPT. This six-month online program is designed for both beginning and advanced practitioners and will take you on a journey to explore the neuroscience behind what is happening in the play therapy process, how to effectively work with caregivers and what it means to create a neuroception of safety allowing both the child and the caregiver to have a deeper integration, and (....if this wasn't enough), you'll come to understand the magic of aggressive play, sand and art from the perspectives of nervous system regulation, attunement, attachment, mindfulness, and authenticity.

    Come discover what showing up in the playroom truly means and explore what is happening in the play therapy process, how change occurs, and ultimately what it takes to help children heal at profound levels. And the best part is, you get to be you on the journey!

  • The Brains Behind Safety: Neuroscience Insights for Schools

    Join us for this 2-hour course as we explore how Safety and Belonging Start with the Brain! A felt sense of safety and belonging isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential for learning. While educators pour energy into creating welcoming spaces, students’ brains don’t always interpret experiences in those environments as safe. Fear-based behaviors can emerge even in classrooms that look warm and inviting. As school-based or clinical mental health professionals, or others working with adults, we have a unique opportunity to bridge that gap. By helping educators understand how the brain perceives safety and threat, we can shift their approach and profoundly impact students' sense of security and connection. This course offers practical insights grounded in brain science to support student mental health and help every learner feel seen, safe, and ready to engage. What You'll Learn: ✔️How to create emotionally safe brain-aligned spaces that help students move through dysregulation and back to connection. ✔️Strategies to build trust and belonging within classrooms and across school communities, creating a foundation for thriving relationships. ✔️Tools to shift mindsets – empowering students and educators to approach challenges with curiosity instead of fear, promoting resilience and growth. Who Should Attend? This training is designed for school-based and clinical mental health professionals, or others who support educators and students. Whether you work directly in schools or in private practice, you’ll leave with insights and tools you can use immediately to help educators bridge the gap between creating welcoming environments and cultivating felt safety and a sense of belonging. 💡 Join us and learn how to foster felt safety and belonging for both students and educators.
