Strand 7: Children & Youth are More Anxious, Aggressive & Shut Down Thank Ever: What’s going on? What can we do about it?
Dates: 3-day Intensive | August 25 to 27, 2025
Faced with an epidemic of emotional health crises and behavioural problems, working with kids has become more challenging than ever. Our children are struggling. We might see anxiety, resistance, attention problems, bullying, aggression, bossiness, acting-out or maybe even kids who seem completely shut-down. We will unpack the dynamics at play and what we can do to address these issues at their root so that lasting change becomes possible. This course is a trauma-informed guide to creating the conditions for change. It equips those who lead children and youth with attachment-based practices that support both individual students as well as the collective learning community. Join Hannah and Tamara for three pivotal days that will shift how you understand mental health, empower you with insights and practical strategies, and re-affirm the vital importance of play and relationship – needed now more than ever. Our approach is attachment/relationship based, inclusive, rooted in developmental science, insight based (beyond behaviour), and trauma-informed.
Hannah Beach is presenting August 25 & 27. Tamara Strijack is presenting August 26.
