To help people who help people, the organization needs to be healthy and have practices in place that consider the trauma of those they serve. Lauren Spigelmyer and Jessica Doering have helped thousands of people who help people all over the world. Each week they'll explore tools, insights, and stories to help you lead and live with more clarity, calm, and connection. If you’re looking for support as you grow your organization’s capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey.

A Sequence for Emotional Regulation
PAUSE this series until after new year!!!!!
In this episode Lauren walks us through the 4 steps for emotional regulation and gives tips for how to provide support and space for these in your classroom. These skills should be practiced, evaluated, and adapted as you continue to use them with your students and in your own life.
Check out the resources below. These should make it easier to set these spaces and practices up in your classrooms.
Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode: How do we address behaviors and regulation through a sensory lens?
Try-at-home tip: Witness, allow, release!
