Live Workshops & Training
At Building Better Brains, our live workshops are neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in real-world experience. We focus on practical, accessible strategies that help you understand behaviour through a nervous system lens and respond with confidence and compassion.
Each workshop is designed to create meaningful, positive transformation- equipping parents, educators and professionals with tools they can use immediately to support regulation, connection and wellbeing.
Trauma Smart Schools: Educator Capacity Building
Trauma SMART schools are student-centred and recognise that emotional intelligence and social-emotional skills are the foundation for improved academic outcomes and resiliency.
Evidence shows that if a brain has been affected by early trauma or prolonged stress, particularly during the sensitive periods of development, the wiring of the brain and nervous system can be affected. This faulty wiring of the lower subcortical parts of the brain drives behaviour, the ability to navigate relationships, the ability to learn and remember, the ability to focus and pay attention, responses to stress, and self-concept.
Our Trauma Smart Schools Program aims to change these statistics through evidenced-based education and a toolbox of support strategies for the entire school community – teachers, parents, and the children themselves.
The program covers essential neuroscience and provides practical classroom, home, and personal strategies to help your school build a sustainable, trauma-informed community.
