Student distress to student success - emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for students
Delivered by Komodo, this live, interactive course explores the benefits of emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and looks at practical strategies and examples of how to teach these skills to students. It will take place over 2 sessions of 1.5h each: 24 November and 1 December 2022, 07.30-09.00 GMT/UTC.
Description
All of us feel and experience emotions. Though for some, and particularly adolescents, feeling these emotions can seem overwhelming and like an uncontrolled rollercoaster. Emotion regulation is the ability to effectively manage and respond to emotions and distress tolerance, it is the ability to manage emotional distress that can come from these experiences. Most of us use a variety of emotion regulation strategies and are able to apply them to different situations in order to meet the demands of our environment; however, in adolescence the changes in brain development, societal roles and expectations can make emotion regulation and distress tolerance a nearly impossible task. When students are regulated and tolerant of their emotions, we see them thriving in their learning and social environments. When students can maintain these emotional states, we see positive mental and physical health and connectedness to identity and future goals.
Join us in learning about the benefits of emotion regulation and distress tolerance as well as practical strategies and examples of how to teach these skills to students.
