Staying Calm and Composed: Strategies to Help Youth Struggling with Emotional Regulation
April 24, 2024, 7 p.m. (Live)
April 25, 2024, 2 p.m. (Recorded)
Presented by Graham Hartke, Psy.D.
Has your child ever lost their cool?
Made an impulsive decision because emotions were high?
Broke down after having “one of those days?”
We’ve all done it, and as we get older we learn how to better self-regulate. Many youth, including those with Tourette Syndrome, struggle regularly on how to self-regulate. Just like the above, emotional dysregulation takes many forms – yelling, crying, social withdrawals, and inflicting pain to name a few. When someone is struggling to self-regulate, it can not only negatively impact their own well-being, but also create undesired outcomes in their social & family life, school, and extra-curricular activities. So what do we do?
In this FREE webinar, viewers will gain:
- An overview of emotional dysregulation including symptoms, causes and associated conditions
- Strategies for addressing emotional dysregulation
- Resources for families, schools, coaches, and health care practitioners
