Module 300: Strengthening Self-Awareness and Self-Care to Reduce Stress

In this module, you will learn about how cultivating self-awareness and self-care can buffer and protect you from long-term adverse effects of chronic, toxic or traumatic stress. Self-awareness and self-care also will allow one to have the restored energy reserves to prevent burnout. These concepts are foundational to trauma-informed work as teachers and caregivers cultivating these practices respond to children's dysregulated behavior with regulation, compassion and trauma-responsive strategies versus reactive and trauma-inducing. It also results in more protective factors for you and more joy in living in the present moment.

Audience: Early childhood educators, trainers, coaches, administrators (working with and/or supporting people who work with ages 0-8).
