Youth need opportunities to identify and develop their strengths and fill their toolboxes with skills to handle life stressors.

They can aspire to growth and well-being with positive experiences to develop these skills for resilience. In this session\, adults working with youth will learn how stress affects learning and the importance of connecting with students using positive characteristics. Participants will actively participate in activities they can take and use to teach youth the skills needed to lessen the stressors in their lives and identify their innate strengths. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the three levels of stress and recognize the effects of stress on the systems of the body\nDemonstrate one or more tools used for self-regulation\nIdentify strength-based strategies to assist youth in increased well-being\n\n  \nLevel: Basic | For: Everyone | Ages Addressed: 6 years – Adulthood \nKathy Magnusson\, M.ed – Founding Director\, Wildewood Learning \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nKathy Magnusson\, M.Ed.\, is the visionary founding director of Wildewood Learning\, a speaking and training company.
