PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (for Educators & Clinicians)
All workshops are customizable for school districts, mental health professionals, and educational institutions. We will work together to address the unique challenges your team faces.
Ideas include (but are not limited to):
Identifying and Managing Anxiety in Children & Teens
Anxiety is at epidemic levels among children and teens and, if not managed effectively, often leads to depression. However, anxiety is one of the most treatable conditions as long as you know what to look for and have the strategies and skills necessary to help kids.
These workshops will help participants:
- Understand the nature of anxiety
- Learn how anxiety shows up and hijacks learning
- How to help kids build the skills they need to tame their worry gremlins
- Learn how to create experiential learning opportunities for kids to overcome anxiety
- Maintain collaboration between parents and school personnel to promote student success
Effective Behaviour Management in the Classroom
Teachers play an important role in helping students engage with their learning environment safely and successfully. However, many teachers lack professional development support in improving classroom management. Behaviour problems tend to increase everyone’s stress levels and limit learning. There are practical, straightforward approaches you can implement in your class to promote prosocial behaviour and academic engagement.
In this workshop, teachers will learn:
- About brain development and how to meet kids at their developmental level
- How behaviour is affected by the environment
- Practical strategies to prevent problem behaviours from happening
- Effective strategies to address and reduce challenging behaviours that do show up
- How to teach students to make positive behavioural choices
Supporting Students with ADHD
ADHD can be an asset. However, when it is missed, it can interfere with kids’ success at school, as well as with their social and emotional development. When left untreated, kids are vulnerable to developing low self-esteem and other lifelong risks. Identification and intervention are critical for successful functioning in life.
In this workshop, participants will learn:
- What ADHD is, and the importance of diagnosis
- How to identify the silently struggling kids
- How to optimize success for kids with ADHD
“This was the best professional development session we’ve had in years. Dr. Buzanko’s hands-on approach and actionable strategies changed the way we approach student mental health. We can’t wait to have her back again later this year!”
