Josh Varner Speaking Topics

Be Their Hero: Trauma Informed Care

Two out of every three students in the United States are impacted by a traumatic event. When students experience trauma or an extremely stressful situation, it's normal and natural for them to have a hard time coping afterwards. I'm passionate about teaching educators how to support individuals impacted by trauma. I specialize in inspiring teachers that they can support these students and be the hero in their life journey.

During this training participants will learn:

  1. Learn how many students are impacted by childhood trauma and how to identify them.
  2. Learn how the brain and body respond to trauma and how that impacts student behavior.
  3. Leave with a ‘Call to Action’ and be equipped with many specific tools that are easy to use to support their students.

Managing the Unmanageable: How to deal with increased stress in schools

Recent studies have shown that it has never been more stressful to be an educator than it has over the past two years. Teacher burnout is at an all time high. So many of our stressors are out of our control (pandemic, lack of subs, increased student issues) but we can control how we manage our increased stress load. During this presentation you will learn how stress is stored in the body and evidence based ways to release it.

During this training participants will learn:

  • How stress gets stored in the body
  • Evidence based practices that complete the stress cycle
  • How to make an individualized stress management plan that meets the needs of each person.

Supporting Dysregulated Students

Increased mental health challenges are putting additional stress on school staff and students. During this presentation we are going to learn how to maximize the resources in our school to support these students.

During this training participants will learn:

  • Classroom interventions to support dysregulated students.
  • Schoolwide supports designed to support students.
  • Student coping strategies that increase regulation and learning.

How Attachment Style Create a Template for All Future Relationships

Around 50% of us have insecure attachment and yet most people do not understand how it impacts us at all. During this talk we will learn how to identify our attachment wounds and build a plan to heal them.

During this training participants will learn:

  • What are the four major attachment styles and how they form.
  • What are the core wounds of these attachment styles?
  • Evidence based practices to move towards secure attachment.
