One of the most exciting developments at Lakeside is that we are offering to our community, and to our country, our Neurologic Training for Schools.
Compelling topics professionals can use to help students regulate and learn
Neurologic is a trauma-informed, brain-based training that features some of the most compelling topics for helping school professionals become skilled in how to help students regulate so they can learn more effectively.
However, it also provides training for administrators of schools that will create a whole new perspective on how a trauma-informed school should operate. Neurologic takes the latest research in neuroscience and applies it directly to students, classrooms and the overall school environment.

Would love to find out more about the program and strategies used for use in our emotional support classes in our school.
Any info that you can provide about training or being able to visit your school would be wonderful.
Thanks Mark
