COURSE DESCRIPTION
This on-demand podcast CE course provides mental health professionals with a neurobiologically informed framework for understanding and treating emotional and behavioral dysregulation in children and adolescents. This course explores how the autonomic nervous system influences behavior, why traditional behavior-focused interventions may fail, and how early identification of nervous system cues can improve outcomes. The course emphasizes co-regulation and practical strategies for intervening before escalation occurs, offering clinicians tools to enhance assessment, reduce misdiagnosis, and support more effective treatment planning.
