New YouTube Series on coping skills

Posted on by alisakaczorowski in Parenting, Social Emotional Learning

Check out my brand new 6 part series on coping skills over on YouTube! If you’ve ever felt angry, anxious or overwhelmed (and who hasn’t?!?), this topic is for you!

In Part 1, you will learn what coping skills are, why they are important and who might benefit from them (hint: EVERYONE!). You will also learn about the 5 categories that coping skills fall into.

In Parts 2-6, we will dive deeper into each of the 5 categories and identify specific skills within each one and when they might be beneficial to use.

Videos will drop on Tuesdays and Thursdays so be sure to follow my channel to get notifications! I hope you enjoy this series!

Get Course 1 here!

Course 1 of my new video series on Building a Trauma-Informed School launches today on Teachers Pay Teachers! I’m excited to make the content I teach to schools all over the country accessible to educators at the click of a button and at an affordable price.

This series will break down the information I present in a full-day professional development into smaller, easy to watch chunks. Course 1 focuses on understanding the basics of trauma in our society, why schools should be trauma-informed and recognizing the characteristics of trauma in children of various age levels.

Course 2 will go live in the next two weeks. It will dive into understanding the neuroscience of trauma – how traumatic experiences impact, and cause changes to, the brain that affect students in a learning environment. It will cover the impact of trauma on learning, as well as a variety of mindfulness techniques that can be implemented in the classroom.

At least two more courses will follow and will focus on the impact of trauma on behavior, trauma-informed classroom management strategies and strategies for building a more trauma-informed culture in the classroom.

Posted on by alisakaczorowski in Uncategorized

The third video in my collaborative series with Indy Direct Docs is now up on their website! You can view it here. I sat down with Dr. Holliday to discuss how to share difficult news and current events with children. This is such a timely topic right now, as parents and educators navigate the tricky waters of appropriately informing kids of current events while being mindful of their age and emotional well-being.
