The Self-Reg Foundations Certificate, our flagship Self-Reg program, has been a game-changer for thousands of learners, bringing them to an entirely new understanding of what makes people tick. In this four-course, online program, Stuart Shanker and Susan Hopkins take you deep into the science of self-regulation and stress including:
-
- how the brain/body stress system works
- how stress affects children’s behaviour and moods
- the difference between misbehaviour and stress behaviour
- the importance of relationships in self-regulation and learning
Over 1500 teachers, mental health professionals, health professionals and parents have taken this course. Many say it has changed their outlook on children, their work and their own well-being. Join us for the next cohort starting on August 31, 2023.
