Trauma reshapes the developing nervous system, leaving kids struggling to feel safe, brave, and connected. This session gives you practical tools to restore regulation and resilience—using polyvagal and somatic strategies that can be applied in therapy, schools, families, and community settings.

You'll learn how to:

  • Spot the behavioral and physiological signs of dysregulation across settings
  • Use somatic and sensory-based tools—grounding, breathwork, movement—for immediate intervention
  • Adapt polyvagal and sensorimotor psychotherapy techniques for children
  • Engage caregivers, teachers, and community partners to build trauma-informed networks of support
