Understanding children’s emotional health and how to help children build emotional regulation, and intelligence is the focus of this program. Participants gain a completely fresh perspective, and tools to nurture emotional health in themselves, as well as their students and families.

Audience takeaways:

• Clear definition of children’s emotional health.
• Receive the “7 Essential Lessons” of how emotions work.
• Science-based strategies that build emotional awareness, and self- regulation. Different emotions like anger and sadness are considered, as well as strategies in effectively handling them specifically. Different types of children discussed too (the perfectionist, stubborn child, intense and/or creative child, and so forth).
• Digitally based strategies to build emotional regulation, as well as proven analog tools. Scripts (things to say) that help children slow down, stop, and make better choices.
• An understanding of the “big picture” of emotional health, and resilience development.

Resilience is a skill that students can learn to develop regardless of their circumstances. Being able to understand the science of childhood resilience, as well as the ideas and skills that help students get unstuck from problems, as well as form a resilient mindset can be game changing for the home or classroom.

Audience takeaways:

• Resilience and emotional health are learnable skills.
• Science-based strategies to bounce back after little to large scale events, experiences or tragedies.
• Learn the essential elements for elementary, middle and high school student resilience, which includes a framework to help teachers, schools and entire school communities. (Maureen wrote a popular science-based resilience program for students).
• Best practices for teachers and schools to foster building, restoring and maintaining resilience in their community.

Students have big emotions and oftentimes even bigger reactions! Being able to help them learn evidence-based tools to handle their challenging emotions, and stress is essential to them progressing academically and socially. Invite Maureen 

Healy to engage and inspire your audience by providing:

• A clear picture of self-regulation strategies (by grade, K-12).
• Strategies for self-regulation and stress management for teachers.
• Clarity on how improved self-regulation is connected to resilience, emotional health, and happier life experiences.
• Added tools for conflict resolution, responsible decision-making, self- awareness, and emotional learning.
• Resource list for teachers, learning professionals, and parents.
• Sample lessons for grade school and SEL programming.

Being able to systematically improve student well-being in the classroom and community can translate into a more supportive community, and ultimately, better academic and pro-social outcomes. Science shows the how of advancing student well-being, and this speaker guides schools, as well as teachers and parents to make small changes that offer big results.

Audience takeaways:

• Understand the science of student and community well-being.
• Receive an individualized school assessment of well-being (what you are doing well, and where opportunity exists).
• Understand best practices of school, student and community well-being, as well as what shifts you can make to make meaningful improvements.
• Learn evidence-based strategies for well-being in your students, and drill down specifically for different types of students (for example, neurodivergent, special needs, perfectionistic, highly sensitive, logical, mathematical, gifted, as examples).

Want to incorporate lessons of emotional health and happier life experiences into your classroom or school? If yes, this program is for you.

Invite Maureen to share the:

• Science of childhood resilience and happier life experience (what science says for students and schools).
• Best practices of teachers, classrooms and schools, which foster well- being and happiness (across the US and worldwide).
• Tangible tools for elementary, middle and high school students that are digitally focused, as well as analog to promote happier life experiences and give them the “ah-has” to build character, compassion and moral courage in their academic and social lives.
• No questions are off the table, and Maureen encourages active participation from everyone

Emphasis is on providing teachers and schools with the ideas and tools to better their communities, as well as foster resilience.
