Strategies for Student Behaviour, Resilience, Regulation, Trauma, and EQ in Challenging Times
In today’s increasingly complex educational environments, students are presenting with heightened emotional reactivity, behavioural challenges, anxiety, and difficulties with self-regulation. Educators and mental health professionals are being asked to respond not only to academic needs, but also to the neurological, emotional, and relational factors that influence behaviour and learning.
In this engaging and practical full-day workshop, Steven Feifer draws on decades of experience in school neuropsychology to help participants better understand the why behind challenging student behaviours and the how of effective intervention. Grounded in brain-based research, trauma-informed practice, and social-emotional learning, this workshop offers concrete strategies to support regulation, resilience, emotional intelligence (EQ), and positive behaviour across school settings.
Participants will explore how stress, trauma, and adversity impact brain development, executive functioning, emotional control, and learning readiness. Steven will translate complex neuroscience into accessible, classroom-ready tools that help educators and clinicians move beyond behaviour management toward meaningful regulation and relationship-based support.
Through case examples, interactive discussion, and evidence-informed strategies, participants will learn how to:
- Understand the neuropsychological roots of challenging behaviour
- Support emotional regulation and impulse control in dysregulated students
- Build resilience and coping skills in the face of stress and uncertainty
- Address the impact of trauma on learning, behaviour, and relationships
- Strengthen emotional intelligence (EQ) and social problem-solving skills
- Create supportive environments that foster safety, connection, and engagement
This workshop emphasizes practical strategies that can be immediately applied in classrooms, counselling settings, and school systems, helping professionals respond to challenging behaviours with greater confidence, compassion, and effectiveness.
