WORKSHOP #10: Nurturing Resilience: Empowering Children to Thrive through Challenges | PRESENTED BY Caroline Buzanko, Ph.D., R. Psych
Confidence and resilience are the secret ingredients to unlocking the true potential of our children.
In this empowering workshop, you will delve into the essential tools you need to build unshakable confidence and resilience in kids, guiding them to navigate mistakes, stress, and setbacks in a healthy and constructive way. You will see how resilience can be nurtured through everyday interactions and structured support. You will identify key stressors that affect children and practical strategies that build strong coping mechanisms and foster a resilient mindset in children.
By the end of this session, you will be well-prepared to support children in developing the resilience necessary to face life’s challenges with confidence and poise.
WORKSHOP #12: Proven Brief Interventions to Help Students with Emotional and Behavioural Problems | PRESENTED BY Caroline Buzanko, Ph.D., R. Psych
Every child and teen experiences emotional ups and downs and engages in challenging behaviours from time to time. Though frustrating, these reactions are an important part of development for all kids. However, these outbursts become a problem when they happen frequently, when they are excessive, and when they begin to impair a child or youth’s functioning.
Emotional and behavioural challenges have increased drastically among children and adolescents over the years with alarmingly high prevalence rates. Unfortunately, most go without effective support, which makes them susceptible for developing severe emotional and/or behavioural disorders that impair their social and emotional well-being, relationships, and development.
Early intervention and treatment are critical to support children and teen’s social, emotional, and behavioural well-being and reduce future risk. Although teachers, parents, and mental health professionals know they need to help, they aren’t always confident in how to do so – especially in the heat of the moment. They may have tried different strategies, but with limited success. Thankfully, these children and teens can be supported easily with the right tools and know-how.
This dynamic workshop is vital for anyone working with children and teens. Participants will develop an understanding of what is going on for children and teens, what happens when the demands on them outweigh their capacity to cope, the underlying needs they have, and the function of an emotional or behavioural meltdown. Participants will also learn the typical strategies adults use when they are trying to help but instead makes the situation worse. Importantly, they will learn what is truly effective (hint: it’s not behaviour charts) to promote positive behaviours and emotion regulation proactively, before an emotional or behavioural blowout occurs, and reactively, in the heat of the moment. With these strategies, participants will help children and teens build their capacity to manage their emotions and behaviours successfully across contexts.
