What’s So Funny About… A Crisis?
Using Humor to Distract, Relate, Reframe & Refuel

Global pandemic. Political pandemonium. Stressed out students. Angry parents. Worried administrators. Who would have ever thought that School Nursing could be this challenging?! If in the midst of it all you’ve experienced any of the following:
  • lack of focus
  • inability to concentrate 
  • anxiety
  • forgetfulness
  • brain fog
…these can be warning signs that your brain has been hijacked, and that can be dangerous, or even deadly for you and your students. In this webinar you can discover how to harness humor to distract, relate, reframe and refuel to empower yourself and those in your care.

At the end of the presentation you’ll be able to:

  • Recognize how to use humor to reframe a situation and reverse an amygdala hijack
  • Identify how to use humor intentionally to build your mental bandwidth 
  • Describe one way to intentionally use humor to boost your physical resilience

Join Us Thursday, January 27th at 2 PM Central Time.
