Description

This webinar offers an accessible introduction to nervous system basics and teaches you how to attune to bodily sensations to assess your level of regulation. When you can track your own nervous system state, you become far more effective at supporting clients through their dysregulation. Through practical self-regulation techniques, you’ll develop the skill of recognizing your body’s subtle cues, building the foundation for both personal resilience and professional excellence.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Differentiate between the nervous system states (Fight, Flight, Freeze). 
  2. Apply self-regulation practices to professional practice
  3. Use grounding and regulation techniques to maintain your own nervous system balance. 
  4. Understand co regulation and how the first step to truly helping others starts with yourself.

Instructor

Megan Cavalli

Instructor

With over a decade of experience in child advocacy, Megan had the privilege of working with clients from all walks of life. As a CRM teacher and Triple P Facilitator, she brings both evidence-based training and real -world insight to her work. Through years of providing peer support to professionals working with families, she consistently heard the same challenge: “These techniques are valuable, but how do we help people calm down enough to actually use them?” This question led her to CRM training, where she discovered that self-regulation isn’t just another tool, it’s the foundation that makes every other modality effective.

Intended Audience

This course is designed for victim advocates, family advocates, and child advocates who respond to cases of power-based violence. While social workers, case managers, healthcare providers, educators, and therapists are welcome to take this course (and may gain a lot from it!), it is not specifically designed for them. All of the examples and case studies include scenarios related to domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and human trafficking.

  • Will I receive CEUs if I participate in a course?

    If you are looking for CEUs for credentialed advocates, NACP or D-SAACP are the accrediting bodies for that certification. On their websites, they indicate that you do not need pre-approval for CEU courses that you may take. Anything related to victim advocacy should count. The staff at The Advocacy Academy can help with any documentation that you need. If you are looking for social work, nursing, or any other kind of CEUs, please contact your accrediting body to find out the requirements. Typically, we able to provide the proper documentation needed for professionals across many disciplines to receive CEUs. It might just require a little leg work!

  • Can I enroll my entire team?

    Yes. If you have a large group of people to enroll, email [email protected] for assistance. You can just send a list with each person's name and email address. We can upload it to the system, rather than entering them one at a time.

  • How do I enroll in all of the courses at once?

    From our homepage, find the option titled "Ultimate Advocate Bundle." You can enroll in all of the on demand courses at a discounted rate, and you will receive a year of access, rather than the standard 30 days that usually comes with an on demand course.
