Have you ever considered the power of breath? Learn how deep breathing, an evidence-based practice, can strengthen students’ self-awareness and self-management, preparing them for academic success and future challenges. Join us for hands-on breathing strategies that are easy to implement in any setting, supported by scientific research on stress reduction and emotional regulation. 

​

Objectives:  

• Participants will be able to explain the science behind how deep breathing supports emotional regulation and stress reduction, including the roles of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. 

• Participants will be able to demonstrate at least three trauma-informed, evidence-based breathing and relaxation strategies appropriate for both elementary and high school students. 

• Participants will develop a plan to integrate simple, age-appropriate breathing and relaxation techniques into their daily interactions with students to support emotional wellbeing and readiness to learn.
