SUMMARY:Webinar #5: An Introduction to Emotion Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Sarah Dansie\, Workforce Development\, MHC \nTarget audience: Clinical and support workers in the alcohol and other drug (AOD) and mental health specialist sectors. \nPlease note: This webinar is a brief\, stand-alone version of the one-day workshop ST343 Emotion regulation delivered on the AODtraining@MHC Calendar. \nEmotion regulation is the ability to manage and respond to emotional experiences in a socially tolerable way. It includes being able to reduce the intensity or duration of emotional states or changing the expression of the emotion to achieve a more positive outcome. Emotion regulation generally increases across the lifespan\, however\, it is a skill that requires development. \nAOD use can be one of the strategies people adopt to regulate their emotions\, which can be helpful in the short-term\, but often not effective in the long-term. It makes sense then that many people who access AOD treatment services can have difficulty managing strong or overwhelming emotions and may have limited strategies outside of AOD use. \nThis training aims to assist the worker to: \n\nDevelop an understanding of emotion and emotion regulation\,\nExplore the skills needed to support people to better identify\, understand and manage their strong emotions\,\nIdentify strategies that will help people respond to overwhelming emotions in constructive ways.
