Building Resilience and Connection: Coping Skills, Social-Emotional Learning, and Crisis Communication in the Classroom
LIMITED
Friday July 31, 2026 10:00am - 10:50am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
This presentation equips educators, school staff, counselors, and support professionals with practical strategies to strengthen students’ emotional regulation, peer relationships, and communication skills during everyday challenges and crisis situations. Participants will explore classroom-based coping skills that help students manage stress, anxiety, frustration, and emotional dysregulation while promoting resilience and self-awareness.

The session also highlights the role of social-emotional learning (SEL) in fostering positive peer interactions, empathy, conflict resolution, and inclusive classroom culture.
In addition, the presentation focuses on effective communication strategies for crisis intervention, including de-escalation techniques, active listening, trauma-informed responses, and supportive language that promotes safety and emotional stability.

Participants will leave with actionable tools, classroom activities, and intervention strategies designed to support student well-being, strengthen school climate, and improve student outcomes.
