DateClass TypeAddressCityStatePrice
3/18/2026 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM PST Virtual $100.00

Training Description

Most clinicians feel confident with Affective Expression work—it’s often squarely within our comfort zone. Regulation, on the other hand, can feel more challenging, and many of us are less sure about how to teach these skills effectively to caregivers. Help children and teens manage their emotions and strengthen caregiver-child relationships with practical, evidence-based strategies.

What You'll Learn:

  • Techniques for affect regulation and emotion coaching aligned with trauma-informed treatment models 
  • How to guide caregivers to reflect on their child’s feelings and their own
  • Ways to empower children to access caregivers as supportive resources, not “fixers” 

Practice and Apply:

  • Case examples to understand timing and real-world application
  • Strategies for youth with explosive anger, irritability, or challenging behaviors
  • Actionable tools to foster emotional growth, resilience, and stronger connections

Upon completing the live virtual training, you will receive a Certificate of Attendance for attending the training.
