Bluff School, 1.30pm to 3.00pm
$10 per person
Life is becoming increasingly complex and intense. We are dealing with unprecedented levels of behaviour and increased expectations. Understanding the brain and how we neurologically and physiologically develop and react is essential for everyone to understand about the stress response and how we can recognise and reset.
This training will inform adults about themselves but also help us understand those we work with.
