Check it out: Tina Payne Bryson – Brain-Based Strategies for Children and Adolescents – Anxiety, ADHD, Emotion Regulation, Executive Function and Other Challenging Behaviors

Watch Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, international speaker and co-author with Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. of The New York Times bestsellers The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline, as she revolutionizes the way you treat behavioral, emotional and somatic challenges using brain-based strategies for children and adolescents.

This workshop will use an interpersonal neurobiology lens to focus on bilateral and vertical brain integration that will challenge your current ways of understanding and treating behavioral and emotional struggles. Using stories, case studies, videos and humor, Tina will provide creative strategies on how to integrate brain science into your practice and personal life. Dive into the neurobiological aspects of attachment and narrative. Learn the latest on neuroplasticity, plus experience the changing brain in a way that’s clear, interesting and practical.

• Acquire new tools to help children and families with:
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• Attachment
• Behavioral avoidance

You will walk away with a new framework for treating children, adolescents and families along with effective strategies to improve attention, emotional regulation and resilient flexibility!

1. Evaluate clinical intake and assessment processes to more effectively treat symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, emotion regulation, executive function and other challenging behaviors in children and adolescent clients.
2. Utilize whole-brain strategies to build a client’s resilience for difficult transitions and regulate emotional reactivity.
3. Demonstrate multiple approaches to help anxious children comprehend fundamental facts about the brain, for purposes of client psychoeducation, to help understand their own brains, and how nervous systems contribute to their overall perspective of their world and themselves.
4. Integrate an interpersonal neurobiology framework to enhance mental health treatment with children and adolescent clients.
5. Implement brain-based, age-appropriate clinical strategies to promote resiliency in children.
6. Explore the neurobiological basis of attachment theory and utilize this information to inform clinician’s choice of treatment interventions.
