Creating Cultures of Neuroinclusion

How different might the college experience be if students, faculty, and campus leaders understood not only how to regulate their nervous systems, but how to help others do the same?

Campuses are places of growth, challenge, and transition. They are also often environments where exhaustion, anxiety, and disconnection become difficult to manage-especially during times of crisis or conflict. READ MORE

Students, faculty, and staff may know what they “should do” to manage emotions, relationships, and school responsibilities, but they can still find themselves stuck in patterns of shutdown and overwhelm. Helping others regulate when they are struggling to regulate themselves can feel impossible.

Co-regulation does not mean fixing or taking responsibility for another person’s wellbeing. It means creating conditions and establishing grounding practices that support psychological safety, agency, and respect for differing lived experiences.

This keynote explores campus relationships through the lens of wellbeing, mental health, and neurodiversity (the diversity of nervous systems) and introduces the idea that effective leaders are co-regulators, the “calm in the storm”. Leaders with nervous system awareness and tools to create a safe, calm, and grounded environment, even during a crisis or conflict, influence how everyone involved experiences a situation. Neuroinclusive leaders respect different nervous systems and co-regulate with different needs in mind.

Participants will learn:

  1. That relational intelligence is an extension of emotional intelligence and that co-regulation is an extension of emotional regulation

  2. Why and how the nervous system gets activated and stuck

  3. How anxiety, overwhelm, and anger impact capacity to learn and connect

  4. Practical tools to ground, calm, and regulate self and others

  5. How neuroinclusive leadership respects different nervous systems and needs
