Engaging the Emotional Brain: Support Strategies for Parents and Caregivers

Emotional dysregulation—whether in children, teens, or adults—can disrupt connection, learning, and everyday life. This free workshop is designed for parents and caregivers who want to better understand what’s happening in the brain during emotional overwhelm and learn how to respond in ways that truly help.
Rooted in brain science and lived experience, this session offers hands-on practice—not just talk—so you leave with tools you can use immediately.
We’ll explore:
• How emotional states impact brain function, memory, and problem-solving
• What co-regulation is—and how it supports emotional stability
• Simple techniques to interrupt emotional flooding in yourself or someone else
• How to model calm when emotions are high
• Strategies for creating emotional safety and connection in daily life
Whether you're parenting a sensitive child, caring for someone with anxiety or PTSD, or just want more effective ways to manage strong emotions, this event will leave you informed, empowered, and equipped.
