Webinar - Relationship-Building & Belonging: Capitalizing on the “Flock” Response, with Dr. Cassie Yackley

Explore the fundamental role that relationships play in the management of stress. Unfortunately, many people have had negative, or even neglectful or abusive, childhood relational experiences that can rob them of a sense of worthiness and safety with others. The behavioral manifestation of this personal experience can be challenging — interactions can feel negative, disengaged, disrespectful, and aggressive. Participants will learn strategies for attunement and relationship-building in these circumstances, including those that can be done through a virtual connection.

Cost: $25, free for KSC community. Registration information for any or all of the series

This webinar is the second in a three-part series, “Brain-Based Approaches to Managing Overwhelming Stress.” The webinar will be recorded and available for viewing for all registrants for two weeks afterwards.
