Good News and Simple Tools for Building Resilience and Working with Trauma

February 25, 2025 @ 1:30 pm. - 3:00 pm.

This webinar highlights science-supported strategies that are effective for children and adults to release stress, build resilience, and develop emotional regulation. A partnership project between Dr. Linda Chamberlain and the Alaska Children’s Trust resulted in the heartfelt story Howling with Huskies and Other Ways to Feel Good. This book uses sled dogs to share simple tools for self-calming and regulating emotions. While science continues to validate the important role of these tools in building resilience and working with trauma, many of these strategies have deep roots in cultural traditions. Please join us to learn why people around the world are howling and how these tools can support children and families worldwide.
