Emotional regulation plays an important role in students’ ability to learn, build relationships, manage challenges, and participate successfully in the school environment.

In this practical one-hour presentation, Dr. Lisa Porter draws on her experience as a school counsellor and educator to explore how teachers, administrators, and other school professionals can support students’ emotional regulation. Designed especially for professionals without a counselling background, the session emphasizes that supporting emotional and mental health is not limited to the counselling office. Participants will explore the role schools and classrooms can play in helping young people develop emotional regulation skills while recognizing when more specialized support may be needed.

  • Explain why emotional regulation skills are important within the school and classroom environment.
  • Identify ways educators and school professionals can support students’ emotional regulation outside of formal counselling settings.
  • Describe the relationship between emotional regulation, learning, behaviour, and student wellbeing.
  • Recognize the complementary roles of classroom-based support and specialized school counselling services.
  • Apply an emotional-regulation perspective when responding to students experiencing emotional challenges at school.

Lisa Porter, DCP, CCC, CCS, started her career as a high school teacher, working in the public education in both Alberta and BC. She later transitioned into high school counselling, where she spent ten years supporting student mental health and wellbeing. Upon completing her doctoral degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, Lisa moved into higher education and now teaches in both Master of Education and Master of Counselling programs, preparing future educators and mental health professionals for professional practice.

Lisa’s research and professional presentations focus on the impact of social media, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies on mental health, education, and professional practice. Her work emphasizes practical, evidence-informed approaches that help educators and clinicians respond thoughtfully to the opportunities and challenges presented by emerging technologies. Her other research interests include harmonizing practitioner and scholar models in higher education, collaborative leadership within complex systems, and promoting youth voice in education and mental health. Lisa is co-author and co-editor of School Counselling in Canada: A Comprehensive Guide (2025).
