According to recent studies, smartphone users pick up their phones an average of 96 times per day, and spend between 5 to 6 hours daily on their screen. These convenient devices may make our lives easier and more enjoyable, but they’re also incredibly addictive and can increase depression, anxiety and relationship problems. Explore new ways to think about the place of your devices in daily life at our Digital Detox workshop February 8, 2022 from 12-1 p.m. on Zoom. Jodi DePaoli, LPC will help you explore what keeps you going back to the screen over and over again, and teach you how to set screen boundaries that actually work.

In classrooms across the country, teachers face a host of new challenges stemming from the stressful and even traumatic circumstances experienced by so many children and their families throughout the pandemic. Teachers play a critical role in children’s ability to heal from traumatic experiences—but often have limited guidance on what to look for or how to help. This webinar will support teachers in building trauma-sensitive classrooms by exploring: the basics of trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their impact on educators and on classroom communities, the impact of stress-related challenges that the past year has had on so many children and families, how to recognize and begin to address challenging or dysregulated classroom behaviors that stem from exposure to trauma and ACEs, and strategies for building relationships with children that act as a buffer against the negative impacts of trauma.

Everyone welcome; nutrition topics will be highlighted.

Join Region 10 and NCHBHS staff to discuss strategies for supporting wellness (surviving now) in the face of overwhelming pressures to address the trauma and stressors children, families, and staff are facing within the context of a continuously changing landscape of the pandemic, shifting program demands, staffing shortages and other compounding stressors.
