Taking Care of You: Stress and Resilience Strategies for Educators Supporting Youth

Presented by Dene Guillas

“Taking Care of You” is a strengths-based workshop designed for educators and youth-serving professionals supporting Indigenous young people. This session provides essential insights into stress and resilience while recognizing the unique realities, histories, and strengths within Indigenous communities. Participants will explore how stress impacts the body and brain, identify common stressors experienced by both youth and adults, and learn practical, culturally respectful strategies to support regulation and resilience in everyday settings. The workshop emphasizes the importance of adult well-being as foundational to youth well-being, reinforcing that resilience grows through relationships, safety, and connection. Participants will leave feeling more grounded, equipped with actionable tools, and better prepared to support Indigenous youth in ways that foster confidence, belonging, and long-term well-being.
