Emotion regulation is a key skill for well-being, yet individuals, particularly those who are neurodivergent, may experience unique challenges in managing emotions in daily life. This two-part ACAMH short course provides a practical approach to understanding, assessing, and providing personalised support across diverse populations.

About the sessions

Participants will explore both standardized and flexible approaches for pre-schoolers, children/young people, and adults, engaging with case examples and interactive exercises to apply these tools in ways that consider individual strengths, preferences, and communication styles. The focus is on using assessment data to guide supportive and individualized support planning.

The first session (04/11/26 2:00 – 4:30pm) introduces a range of evidence-informed assessment tools designed to capture emotional awareness, regulation strategies, and patterns of dysregulation, with attention to different developmental, cognitive, and neurodiverse profiles.

The second session (11/11/26 2:00 – 4:30pm) focuses on intervention strategies that foster adaptive emotion regulation skills while accommodating individual variability. Techniques include cognitive-behavioural approaches, mindfulness-informed practices, and emotion-focused strategies, illustrated through case discussions, role-plays, and practical exercises. Participants will develop skills in tailoring interventions to contexts, needs, and environments, promoting both functional skills and emotional well-being.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to apply case-based learning to adapt strategies for real-world clinical and educational settings, assess emotion regulation in neurodiverse populations, and design evidence-informed, individualized interventions. This course integrates theory, practical tools, and interactive learning.
