Powerfully You™

Does your child?

• Have difficulty recognizing when they are dysregulated or their emotions are out of control?

• Have difficulty using self-reg tools (even with support) in the moments they need them most?

• Get down on themselves for having these difficulties?

If you answered yes to any of these characteristics, Powerfully You™ may be the best next step in your OT journey.

As a parent, you’re not alone!

Self-regulation is hard! But together we can help your child do hard things - with our 6-week parent/child Powerfully You™ group.

What is Powerfully You™ ?

• It teaches kids to tune into their own bodies, arousal states and emotions in a way that's easy for them.

• It teaches emotional regulation tools through connection and compassion.

• It will give YOU, as the parent/caregiver, the tools to support your child by leaning into your relationship with them.

• Emma, Kristina, Regan, and Alanna have completed the training and are Powerfully You™ Providers.
