EVENT DESCRIPTION

Processing and managing emotions is hard for even the most level-headed of us. For neurodivergent kids and teens, dealing with "all the feels" can be exhausting.

The skills needed to develop emotional regulation can be developed over time with guidance and compassion from parents and educators. In this talk, Emily Kircher-Morris, LPC, will break down the 4-step process of emotional regulation so we can help kids who are "a little bit extra" find healthy ways to manage their emotions.

Emily Kircher-Morris is a mental health professional and advocate for neurodiversity, with a deep commitment to creating inclusive and supportive environments for all students. She hosts The Neurodiversity Podcast, which explores the psychological, educational, and social needs of neurodivergent people.
