"They're not giving you a hard time — they're having one."

Join us for a free live training for group home and foster care teams — understand what's really happening in a young person's brain when they escalate, and why your own regulation is the first intervention.

Every adult who works with young people in care has felt it, the moment a situation escalates and logic seems to leave the room. There's a reason for that, and it's neurological.

In this free 60-minute session, Dr. Roseina Britton walks your team through what's actually happening in the brain under stress: why the "thinking brain" goes offline, why behavior is so often a nervous system in survival mode rather than a choice, and why a regulated adult is the most powerful de-escalation tool in any room. You'll leave with a practical lens you can use immediately…for the young people in your care, and for yourselves.

This is Module 1 of Rooted in Understanding, Cultivating Minds' trauma-informed staff training. Come experience it live.

What you'll walk away with (bullets for the page): the three-layer brain model in plain language; how to recognize "flipping the lid" in real time; why chronic stress rewires a developing brain; and the old-lens/new-lens shift that changes how your team responds.
