Description |
This workshop is being held for CFC 15 Service Coordinators and staff. As early intervention professionals in the time of Covid, new and unfamiliar challenges have become the norm.
Understanding how anxiety works, how it is present and operating in the children and families we serve as well as ourselves, is an important contributing concept in being an effective helping professional.
In this training, we will review the mechanisms of stress and the sensations of anxiety as well as neurology, brain structures, learned responses, and genetic programming. These structures and mechanisms all play important roles in how each individual, from infancy through life, is able to regulate oneself.
We will progress to discussion of how one’s patterns of response, behavior, and perceptions of thought and reality influence our daily wellbeing as well as our relationships.
Creating optimal relationship based services with both the families we serve and the individual child we are ‘treating,’ requires that we have a sophisticated level of awareness of the role that stress and anxiety have in one’s behavior and ability to learn and grow to the best of one’s functional ability.
