Supporting the Stressed-Out Early Educator: Managing Stress and Children’s Behaviors in the Early Education Setting

This training is designed for Illinois Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health Consultants wishing to deepen their understanding of stress and how it impacts the early educator and the children that they serve. In addition, participants will explore the importance of having a trauma-informed and relationship-focused approach when managing children’s behaviors often associated with stress or adding to the stress that educators experience. Participants will utilize reflective practice as a means to explore these topics and will require participants to challenge their current perspectives on challenging classroom behaviors.
