No coupon code is needed. Discounts will be applied directly to your cart at checkout. \nEarly bird rates: \n\n$50 for one webinar (additional webinars are $65)\n$200 for four-part series\n\nRegular rates: \n\n$65 for individual webinars\n$235 for four-part series\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Register \n \n The human services field has made strides in raising awareness around the urgency of building healthy brains in new babies and young children. Early childhood resilience strategies such as “serve and return” are now commonly built into trainings and practice. However\, the field has been slow to translate emerging brain science into learnings and practices with adults and our workforce. \nTo be well at work\, especially in complex and stressful settings\, we need to understand basic brain concepts and embrace practices and behaviors that support optimal brain functioning.  Stress\, distress\, and trauma interrupt our ability to access our “thinking brain” and\, without intervention\, keep us in our survival or lower brain\, where we struggle to think\, problem solve\, focus\, or manage conflict. \nRegulation\, a basic strategy for calming our lower brain\, is integral to a healthy workforce. Practicing brain-based interventions\, such as Dr. Bruce Perry’s sequence of engagement – regulate\, relate\, reason (3 Rs)\, helps us achieve better outcomes. Our staff will experience increased trust\, stronger relationships\, candid conversations\, and more accountability. \nThis webinar\, the first session in the Workforce Well-Being and Resilience learning series\, focuses on the importance of embracing brain science awareness in our work settings. We explore the neurobiology of stress\, distress and trauma\, the arousal continuum\, and strategies for practicing daily regulation activities at work and building a brain friendly culture that leads to resilience and success. \nAbout the Webinar Series\nAs workforce challenges continue to hinder human services organizations\, leaders are searching for concrete action steps to support staff who are emotionally and physically exhausted. Though staff often enter the field excited to make a difference\, it can be difficult to keep them connected to the vision and mission of the organization. \nThis four-part webinar series will delve into core strategies and tactics for supporting staff\, such as increasing accountability\, managing conflict\, nurturing relationships\, embracing equity\, and achieving excellence. Sessions in this series: \n\nEmbed Brain Science: Sept. 19 from 2-3 p.m. ET\nFoster Candidness through Psychological Safety: Oct. 5 from 2-3 p.m. ET\nCreate Culture around Shared Values: Nov. 9 from 2-3 p.m. ET\nIntegrate Connection and Community: Dec. 12 from 2-3 p.m. ET\n\nTakeaways\n\nBrain science concepts and strategies to increase resilience in the workplace\nState dependent functioning and the arousal continuum\, and their application to daily work\nPractical tools and strategies for increasing regulation\nStrategies for building a brain friendly culture that enhances our optimal functioning at work\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nExecutive and senior leaders\nMiddle managers\nHuman resource staff\nStaff with responsibility for EDI\n\nIndividuals who are champions for strengthening the workforce culture\, regardless of their title\, will benefit.
