Self-Reg Facilitator's Certificate

June 11, 2020

The foundations courses sparked my interest, but the facilitator’s program has fuelled my passion to help other’s experience the world around them through a self-reg lens. Not only does the facilitator’s program take you deeper in your understanding, but it takes that learning and shows you how to share that message with other’s. Not only have I shifted my way of viewing both my own and others’ behaviour, but I am using what I have taken from the Facilitator’s program and am guiding my colleagues, my husband and my friends in looking at both their own and the behaviour of those around them in a very different way. A way that makes sense and that finds solutions in a positive way. It has brought more calm into my life, and my hope is to continue to bring more calm in the lives of those around me. Such a powerful thing!

F2 is a course for everyone!

December 3, 2019

I wanted a deeper understanding of self-reg that would help me to further integrate the learning into my every day life. I wanted to learn how to “light the spark” of self-reg in others, so that they too would be excited to begin their own self-reg journey. The Facilitator’;s Course not only fulfilled these goals for me, it also connected me to a self-reg community of support, growth and challenge. I was given the opportunity to move through the learning process at my own pace, whilst being fully supported and encouraged by the course facilitators. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would highly recommend to those wishing to dive deeper into the process for either their own self-reg, or as an educator.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I loved the way you become part of a community of practice and learn from not only the facilitators but your fellow learners too. The course felt unhurried and allows you to revisit and consolidate your learning along the way. I loved they way we shared our understandings and reflections on the learning in a variety of ways and how the content was varied. This kept my interest. I was able to complete the study alongside my work commitments and my facilitators were incredibly supportive and encouraging. We were challenged and supported. I have used my learning to make personal changes and self reg is now embedded firmly in my practices at work too. Loved this learning so much. Thank you

Self-Reg, a school leader's journey

October 19, 2019

Shanker Self-Reg and TMC have truly changed the way I interact as a leader with my staff, students, and parents. What started as a District book club for “Calm, Alert, and Learning” moved into the Foundations courses, and then the Facilitator’s courses. Being part of these cohorts has allowed me to remain part of a dynamic community that interacts in real time. We can share our successes and challenges, and look to each other for help in a safe environment where everyone is there to deepen their self-reg practice. The regular videos make you feel like you have a personal relationship with Stuart and Susan. I highly recommend these courses for anyone wanting to move thier self-reg learning beyond the books.

This course is dynamic in taking you further down the rabbit hole of the Self-Reg journey. I just was finishing the level 4 when I started this course and sadly was unable to complete the course as “life” happened. The Mehrit Centre and staff are so understanding and I will be joining in this cohort to finish what I started. Self-Reg is life changing for myself and the children I provide service to. I am not only happier but healthier as through gaining self-reg knowledge I was able to quit a 35 year long pack a day bad habit today I am 254 days without a cigarette, now that’s magic! I am confident in using self-reg in many ways; completing this course will make me confident in sharing the knowledge that is life-changing and critical to the population I serve.
