11TH ANNUAL SELF-REG SUMMER SYMPOSIUM

REIGNITE, RESTORE, RISE

The Science of Self-Reg in a World That Needs Us More Than Ever

JULY 7-10, 2025 @ Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

Dr. Stuart Shanker has spent his decades showing us that Self-Reg is not just about managing stress—it’s about transforming how we understand and respond to it. And right now, that understanding has never been more urgent.

At SRSS 2025, we go beyond stress management to real, meaningful change. All five steps of Self-Reg—Reframe, Recognize, Reduce, Reflect, and Restore—help us:

• Reframe stress-driven behaviours—our own, our children’s, and others’—by asking why and why now, looking deep into the brain where hidden stressors shape reactions long before we are aware of them.
• Recognize the unseen stressors—biological, emotional, cognitive, social, and prosocial—that silently drain energy, alter behaviours, and influence how we think and connect.
• Reduce stress in meaningful ways—not just through self-care, but by reshaping the environments and conditions that keep us in a constant state of high alert.
• Reflect on brain-body stress states, learning to sense when we are reaching our peak, take proactive steps to rebalance, and shift from reactivity to resilience.
• Restore energy—not just to recover, but to regulate homeostasis, rebalance the nervous system, and renew our capacity for critical thinking, compassion and joy.
