AURORA WELLNESS CENTER
Schools play a significant role in supporting students' academic development, but also healthy social-emotional development. Disruptions due to virtual learning seemingly have impacted this
development, as schools have been, historically, a place for students to grow connections, form
friendships, develop knowledge and skill, and increase their ability to learn and develop their
interpersonal skills.
With remote learning, students may have felt isolated and anxious, as face-to-face peer and school staff connections fell away, with younger students having lost opportunities to learn and practice critical social-emotional regulation skills. As students returned to school, the ability to readjust to more structured routines of learning, academic workload demands, positive peer interactions, and social-emotional coping skills have been a struggle for many students. Some students have experienced anxiety, depression and emotional dysregulation. Many have struggled to use positive coping skills. Through this FREE presentation, Dr. Mervin Langley, of Aurora Behavioral Health, will talk about the impact emotional dysregulation can have on students, both at home and within the school environment, as well on their peer interactions. Dr. Langley will also provide attendees with strength-based strategies that can be used to support student's emotional development and self- regulation skills.
