Contemporary Psychological Principles for Understanding, Evaluating, and Treating Emotional Dysregulation - Presented by Christopher Brown, School Psychologist & Licensed Professional Counselor

     Intense difficulties regulating emotions for students of all ages are the result of a complex interplay involving cognition, emotion, memory, and attention.  Psychological research from specialty areas including developmental psychopathology,  cognitive neuroscience, affective neuroscience, predictive processing, right-brain development, active inference, and personality development provides us with a richer understanding of how young people develop and fail to develop the capacity to regulate emotions.  This workshop will explain the current research to inform the best ways to evaluate and provide supportive interventions for these students in the school setting.
