SELF-REG SUMMER SYMPOSIUM
12TH ANNUAL SELF-REG SUMMER SYMPOSIUM
CO-REG AND THE 5 DOMAINS OF STRESS
Less Escalation, More Connection & Learning
JULY 6-9, 2026 @ Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, CAN
Children and youth are carrying heavier loads, and it’s showing up everywhere – big early-years behaviours, rising anxiety and shutdown, conflict, bullying, slipping attendance, and young people disconnecting from learning and belonging – while educators, EAs, before-and-after school teams, clinicians, and parents are being asked to do more with less.
In the Shanker Self-Reg® Framework, Co-Reg isn’t a calmer path to compliance; it’s a neurobiological process of synchrony – interbrain – working across the five domains (biological, emotion, cognitive, social, prosocial), where our state, tone, pacing, and presence can either escalate or settle a space, restoring capacity so behaviour shifts and learning returns as a byproduct.
This symposium focuses on the universal power of Co-Reg: how environments, routines, pedagogy, discipline, policies, family engagement, and adult well-being can lower load, unblock empathy, and build safer, more caring, more learnable communities.
Join us for the 12th annual Self-Reg Summer Symposium at Trent University – live in person for the full embodied experience, and online with key sessions live-streamed worldwide – to bust myths, practice five-domain Co-Reg in real cases, and leave re-skilled and re-energized for what kids need now.

Courses
Self-Reg Foundations Certificate Program
Our flagship Self-Reg Foundations Certificate Program has been a game-changer for thousands of learners, bringing them to an entirely new understanding of what makes people tick. Join Stuart Shanker and Susan Hopkins as they take you deep into the science of self-regulation and stress, including the brain/body stress system, how stress affects children’s behaviour and the importance of relationships in self-regulation and learning.
Self-Reg for Education Assistants
In the course “Self-Reg for Education Assistants,” participants embark on a transformative journey spanning 12 modules over 3 months. Learners will delve into the nuances of Shanker Self-Reg®, refine their abilities in reframing behaviour, identifying and mitigating stressors, and enhancing brain-body state awareness.
Enhancing Resilience in Children and Youth
In this Self-Reg program focused on resilience, we learn how to identify and overcome what is holding back many children and teens, we can spark their ability and desire to take on new learning, new challenges and new opportunities for increased health, well-being and community building.
Self-Reg and Leadership in Schools
Every educational leader* has always had the same goal: a school in which everyone flourishes – not just academically, but socially, psychologically and morally. It’s the HOW that has always proved challenging. Self-Regulation is needed now more than ever, as school leaders* confront ever-increasing challenges: explosive behaviour, mental health needs around every corner, staff shortages and burnout. And all this amid the important overarching goal of providing the best possible education to every child.
* includes teacher leaders, department heads, special education teachers, ECE leaders, school administrators, camp directors, professional learning leaders, teacher consultants and other school board staff.
