Join Us for Our December Workshops
Zones of Regulation
Rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, the Zones of Regulation is a framework that uses four colors to help students identify their feelings and level of alertness and provides strategies to support emotional regulation. By understanding how to notice their body’s signals, detect triggers, read social context, and consider how their behaviors impact those around them, students learn improved emotional control, sensory regulation, self-awareness, and problem-solving skills.
Participants will:
- Learn about the four Zones, corresponding feelings and visuals to reinforce this language at home.
- Explore calming and alerting strategies to teach children how to become aware of and manage their emotions.
- Discuss individual needs in a collaborate group setting.
Presented by Emily Habermeyer and Paula Augenstein, FCPS School Counselors.
Thursday, December 5, 2019, 10 a.m.-noon.

- Practical strategies to help children improve their self-esteem
