2026 January Leadership Institute: Understand my Brain to Understand Me! Turning Trauma Research into Practice
2026-01-13 09:00 - 2026-01-15 14:30 | AL
Understand my Brain to Understand Me! Turning Trauma Research into Practice
Presented by: Heidy Lefleur
9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
(Lunch on your own 11:00 – 12:30)
Sign-In begins at 8:00 a.m.
To take situations from chaos to calm, we welcome awareness between brain health and behavior by connecting the Social Emotional Alphabet to trauma-brain research. All past experiences, circumstances, and stories determine physical and emotional regulation which can be communicated through anger, defiance and misunderstood intent. Learning the art of responding rather than reacting starts with self-regulation skills, trauma-brain awareness and a proactive mindset that resets every day. Gain necessary insight into the why behind behavior and learn what you can control with your Actions, Words & Expressions (AWE) using eight letters of Heidy’s Social Emotional Alphabet. This highly engaging institute will offer opportunities for self-reflection, discussion with peers, strategies for self-care, and actions to help students learn.
