Oops! You did it again. You stepped on a student's emotional land mine. Are you spending too much time dealing with the behavioral fallout from emotions you accidentally triggered? Are there things you should have avoided saying or doing? Are there some approaches better than others? The short answer: Yes! You can change your approach and change your educational world. With this half-day presentation, you will learn triggers and side-stepped them without walking on eggshells as well as proactive supports and strategies. This training is considered to be part two of three important trainings you will need to become better equipped to work with the new treatment model.

2. Learn the basic profiles and emotional underpinnings involved in major DSM disorders.
3. Learn ways to help students regulate and manage moods.
4. Learn and practice "mindfulness" techniques that help de-stress and repidly restore emotional equilibrium.
5. Discover how to cultivate your student's own creative solutions and new coping strategies for ongoing difficulties.
