What does Self-Reg look like when we bring it into the real, wonderfully complicated moments of our work with children, youth and one another?
This fall, The MEHRIT Centre is bringing together members of our presentation team for Self-Reg in Practice, a seven-part live webinar series exploring how Shanker Self-Reg® can help us understand some of the challenges showing up across early years and education.
From challenging behaviour in kindergarten and exhausted school teams to big emotions, high school and post-secondary readiness, each conversation will invite us to look beneath what we see on the surface and consider a different question:
What might be happening here when we look through a Self-Reg lens?
Seven Live Self-Reg Conversations This Fall
Each 75-minute webinar will be hosted by Susan Hopkins, who will open and frame the conversation through a Self-Reg lens.
Susan will be joined by a member of The MEHRIT Centre presentation team for approximately 30 minutes of focused learning and conversation, followed by time for questions, discussion and bringing the ideas into practice.
All webinars take place Wednesdays from 6:45–8:00 p.m. ET and will be recorded.

Self-Reg in Elementary: Beyond Behaviour
With Claudio Moschella and Susan Hopkins

With Leigh Anne Jacques and Susan Hopkins
Big emotions can take a lot of energy – for children and for the adults supporting them.
