Self-Reg For Teens
Self-Reg is a process of ongoing personal learning about the connections between stress, energy and tension and how they affect our moods and behaviours.

The Self-Reg Show Podcast
Join Stuart and Susan for a taste of Self-Reg and explore why it is so crucial for the wellness of children, youth and even us adults today more than ever. Shanker Self-Reg® is a framework and a five-step process that can be used by educators, parents, or anyone dreaming about a world where well-being comes first.

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 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.
