When the structure of the school year ends, many students experience increased emotional intensity, dysregulation, and stress, even when summer is supposed to feel “easier.” Shefali Shetty, LCSW, will share evidence-based DBT strategies to help students navigate the emotional challenges that often arise during summer transitions. Designed for parents of students across age ranges, this webinar focuses on practical skills that support emotional regulation when routines change, expectations shift, and support systems look different.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Understand why emotional regulation can become harder in summer, especially when structure, predictability, and daily routines are reduced
- Use core DBT skills to help students manage big emotions, impulsivity, and overwhelm during transitions
- Support students in returning to Wise Mind when frustration, anxiety, or reactivity take over
- Create supportive summer routines that balance flexibility with emotional stability
- Encourage skill use and independence so students can manage emotions more effectively across settings
If your child or teen struggles with emotional ups and downs when school is out, this webinar will equip you with concrete, research-based tools you can use right away.
