Our Trauma Compass series is funded in part through contract with the Division on Women and expanded by sponsorship from the Ocean County College Foundation

Hosted in partnership with Preferred Behavioral Health and delivered by a licensed mental health clinician , Join us as we cultivate workplace development by building the psychological and emotional resilience required to prevent burnout, communicate assertively, and elevate professional impact.

This workshop addresses the unique nervous system overwhelm, identifying triggers and how to begin building a “tool kit” for the education and workplace environments. We will explore how chronic stress changes the processing power of the brain

• Identify personal shifts between hyper-arousal (fight/flight) and hypo-arousal (freeze/collapse)
• Build internal body awareness to catch physiological stress before it turns into behavior explosion or shutdown
• Master discreet, body-based tools to down-regulate the nervous system in real time without drawing attention from classmates or coworkers
