We are all unique and also have one thing in common—how our nervous systems present a hierarchy of responses to daily events. Come explore the language of the nervous system. Understanding the vocabulary and key concepts of Polyvagal Theory enhances programs you already use including social-emotional learning, trauma-sensitive classrooms, mindfulness, or regulation programs.

They’ll be a pitch to purchase the book and create a professional book club for the school year to discuss concepts and implement activities based on the seven polyvagal principles included in this groundbreaking book.
