Nurturing Social & Emotional Development to Build Resilience For School Staff
The Nervous System
& Trauma
This is a clear, grounding session for school staff on how the nervous system shapes behaviour — especially for students impacted by stress or trauma. Helena will explore what’s happening inside a child’s nervous system during overwhelm, frustration or shutdown — and how tuning into their inner experience can transform the way we respond.
