Workshops for Educators & School Staff
Staff Workshop – Supporting Children and Educators in a Changed World
This workshop presentation focuses on providing educators with a framework to better understand and respond to challenging behaviors in children, especially in the context of a changed world impacted by events like the pandemic. The core message revolves around using the "Four W's" (What am I seeing?, What am I feeling and why?, Why is this happening?, What can be done?) to move from reactive to responsive approaches and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and recognizing parallel processes. It acknowledges the impact of compassion fatigue and trauma exposure on educators, stressing the need for realistic expectations and self-care.
Fusion Academy – Understanding Anxiety & School Avoidance
This training helps school staff understand the link between anxiety and school avoidance and equips them with actionable, evidence-informed strategies to re-engage students. We cover definitions and signs of anxiety, underlying causes, and a needs-assessment approach to tailor interventions. The workshop emphasizes relationship and attachment work (safety, trust, boundaries), classroom practices (choice boards, movement-based learning, self-advocacy), teacher mindfulness, and schoolwide ideas for communal spaces and low-cost projects (mural/affirmation trees, thought boards, kindness chains). Ideal for teachers, counselors, and school leaders seeking practical tools to reduce isolation, improve attendance, and support students’ emotional and academic success.
