Join me for an engaging session where I’ll share my journey growing up with trauma, familial instability, and emotional dysregulation, alongside undiagnosed ADHD. I often felt lost and disconnected from teachers who didn’t know how to connect with me, but a few caring educators truly made a difference by taking the time to understand me and recognize my potential. Today’s classrooms are filled with kids facing similar challenges, and if we’re going to have compassion for them, we also need to cultivate compassion for ourselves as educators. Together, we’ll explore how showing interest, recognizing strengths, and fostering a sense of belonging can make a real impact on our students’ lives.
